A man has been arrested from Kashmiri Gate in connection with the murder case of a 30-year old man who was shot dead after he objected to a dog barking at him in North-East Delhi's Welcome area.

During initial interrogation, he has disclosed that he was heavily drunk at the time of the incident," said Atul Thakur, Deputy Commissioner of police, (north east).
Police said that further investigation is underway.
According to Shaukat, Aafak's father-in-law he was at his house in the same area when Aafak's eldest son Altaf (10) came running to him saying that his father had passed away. "I was at my house when he came and told me. I initially thought he was joking and randomly saying something. Later on I heard others also talking about it and ran to the lane where he was killed but by then he was already taken to the hospital," said Shaukat.
Aafak's employer Jarrar stated that he had left from the factory around 4pm. When he reached home he was informed that his other son Rizwan (8) had injured himself after a cylinder fell on his fingers and was rushed to the hospital. Aafak immediately left his house and was on the way to the hospital when the dog started barking at him and even tried to bite him. Scared that the dog will attack him he picked up a stone and threw at him.
