Shooting outside former councillor's Delhi house, 2 security officers killed

New Delhi: Two personal security officers of former councillor Krishan Pehelwan were shot dead outside his house in southwest Delhi's Najafgarh area, a month after his brother was murdered.

The incident occurred on Friday night when a private function had been organised at the former councillor's place, police said.

A heated argument broke out between the personal security men of Mr Pehelwan and a group of youth, after which the two were shot dead, an official said, adding teams have been formed to arrest the culprits at the earliest.

In March last year, Pehelwan's brother Bharat Singh, who was a former lawmaker, was shot dead by assailants.

Police has ruled out gang war in last night's shooting and said that some of the accused have been identified.
