During this time, Suraj and his friends got furious and started abusing the complainant and fired a bullet at him with the intention of killing him.
The bullet hit the complainant’s hand.
Suraj and his friends fired more bullets, but the victim survived and the accused fled the spot.
Upon receiving this complaint, a case was registered under the relevant sections at the Gurugram city police station.
During the investigation, the police team nabbed the accused from Sector-12 Chowk, Gurugram, on Sunday.
