New Delhi:
Two days after a 16-year-old girl was shot at by three men in Delhi, the police have arrested two of her attackers. She was attacked allegedly because she stopped responding to the messages of one of the accused who had befriended her on social media, the police said, citing their alleged confession.
The two men – Bobby and Pawan – have allegedly told police that the attack was planned by Armaan Ali after the girl suddenly stopped talking to him.
Armaan Ali is on the run and police are taking the help of informers to trace him, an officer said.
“Armaan Ali was in touch with the girl for the past two years through social media. He plotted the attack after the girl stopped responding to his messages six months back,” a police official said.
The 16-year-old girl, a Class XI student, was shot at on Thursday while she was on her way home from school in south Delhi’s Sangam Vihar area. The victim received an injury on her shoulder and is out of danger, they said.
The accused fired at the girl from behind and ran away. They have been charged for attempt to murder.
