After a CCTV footage showing criminals brandishing their weapons in Central Delhi's Deshbandhu Gupta Road area surfaced, the Delhi Police stated that they are identifying the criminals and scanning the footage to ascertain the sequence of events. The video is a week old and two cases have been registered in this regard.

According to the police, the video is related to a criminal identified as Shalu alias Vikas, who has a previous criminal record and had an issue with his neighbours. Vikas has been previously arrested 3-4 times and is mostly seen with pickpockets from the area.

According to cops, Vikash was unhappy with a man in his neighbourhood getting married in a better family. "It is a dispute between the two families. Vikas has a problem with the member of the other family as he is getting married in a better family. This is not the first time that the families are having issues with each other. Two cases filed by both the families have been registered," a senior police officer said.

Based on the complaint from Vikas's wife a case under Section 308 of the IPC have been registered. The other party alleged that women of the family were slashed with blade and a case under section 324 has been registered. No arrests have been made so far.

Speaking about the video, cops that it might be possible that Vikas asked some persons to come and show off their weapons outside his house in order to show the cops that the other family is troubling him.
