New Delhi [India], December 12 (ANI): Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) East Delhi Apoorva Gupta on Thursday shared details on the shooting incident in Kalyanpuri and said that the firing on the individual stemmed out of a long-term rivalry between two families.

The victim has been identified as Ravi Yadav, aged 32, a professional gym trainer.”

“Ravi Yadav’s family has a long-term rivalry with a family living in 13 Block, Kalyanpuri. These families keep filing complaints and RTIs against each other.
