A 32-year-old man was shot dead near the Phool Mandi on National Highway-24 in east Delhi, police said on Monday, PTI confirmed.
According to a report by PTI, Rohit, a resident of Ghazipur village, was found with a gunshot wound and was rushed to the LBS Hospital, where he was declared dead, a police officer said.
The incident was reported from a busy locality near the Phool Mandi.
Sources said a protest staged by the victim's family members and locals near the Delhi-Ghazipur border demanding strict action against the accused has led to massive traffic snarls in the area.
