One person was injured after a security guard’s gun went off inside a bank in New Delhi. The guard has been arrested by the police while the injured man — identified as Rajendra Singh — is being treated at a hospital.
The incident took place at a branch of Vijaya Bank in New Delhi’s Defence Colony and the guard has been identified as Rudra Pal Singh, a retired army soldier.
The police say that Rudra Pal Singh’s gun went off accidentally but eyewitnesses have contradicted the police’s version.
