National-level woman shooter rescues kidnapped relative; makes family proud

New Delhi: Ayisha Falaq, a national level shooter made her family proud after she rescued her relative who was kidnapped.

According to reports, Ayisha ‘s brother-in-law Asif was taken hostage by anonymous men.

Asif, a student of Delhi University, used to earn his pocket money by driving a cab after classes.

On the fateful night, he got a trip in Daryaganj and left his home at Minto Road to pick up Rafee and Akash, who later kidnapped him.

Halfway through, they asked him to take a different route and forced him to stop the car at Bhopra Border and took Asif's wallet, which had only Rs 150.

Seeing the meager sum, they felt disappointed and thrashed him brutally. Then, Rafee and Akash forced him to make a ransom call to his family.

The kidnappers then asked his family to reach Shastri Park in an hour with Rs 25,000 if they wanted to see Asif alive.

Asif's family immediately informed the police about the entire episode and Ayisha decided to reach the location along with the police.

When Ayisha and her husband reached the site, the kidnappers suspected the presence of cops and drove away.

The kidnappers then called her to Bhajanpura to come with the money.

Ayisha, who carried her licensed .32 bore pistol, fired the shots at the kidnappers in self-defence to save Asif's life. She shot one of the men on his waist, the other in his foot.

Despite being injured, the two men tried to flee from the location but were nabbed by the police.

Falaq is a bronze medallist in the North Zone Shooting competition, which she won in 2015.
