Son of Gurugram's who was shot at by a gunman on October 13, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital on Tuesday morning. The family has donated the heart, liver and a kidney of additional sessions judge's son. 

Wife and son of the judge were shot at by his official security guard in Gurugram’s Sector 49. While the woman died on the spot, her 18-year-old son was admitted to a hospital in a critical condition.

The gunman, identified as Mahipal Singh, was arrested soon after the incident and later sent to judicial custody.

There were reports that Mahipal Singh, the guard who shot the Gurugram judge’s wife and son, wanted to visit his ill daughter. He had requested for leaves. Instead, the judge refused to grant any leave and asked Singh to escort his family for shopping. 

Miffed over this, the guard shot the mother-son duo in board daylight on a busy street in Gurugram market. The family of the accused claims that the Haryana Police was harassing them. They maintain that Singh wanted to visit his ailing daughter. They also said that they had submitted the medical prescription as the proof, an India Today report said.

‘He was a security guard, a police constable, not a domestic help. He was not happy with his job of taking the family to market,’ a News18 report quoted one of Singh’s friends as saying. 

The report also said that on the fateful day, Singh had hardly slept for three hours and was feeling very low. 

So far, the police have not been able to find out the exact motive behind the shooting. According to the sources, Mahipal Singh had posted a photo on Friday night. This was the last post before the shooting. In the post, seven dots are jotted down in a line with something written next to them. The police is trying to find out whether this post is linked to the shooting. 

The accused has been changing his statement ever since he was taken into the custody. First he said that he was miffed as the family used to ask him to do menial jobs. Then he changed the track and said that he was under influence. He said that he had converted to Christianity five days ago. He claimed that the victims were ‘Shaitan’ or ‘devil.’ Later, he said that he was depressed, though the copy didn’t find any medication from his house. 

On October 13, Additional Sessions Judge Krishan Kant's wife Ritu succumbed to her injuries and their son Dhruv (18) was declared brain dead by the doctors.
