Delhi Amazon executive shot dead by gang led by 18-year-old

NEW DELHI: A 36-year-old senior manager with Amazon was shot in the head from point-blank range by a group of four to five armed assailants in northeast Delhi’s Bhajanpura late on Tuesday night. His relative too was shot and is battling for life. The men fired in the air while fleeing, locals claimed.

Late on Wednesday evening, Delhi Police’s special cell cracked the case and nabbed the prime suspect, Sameer (18), sources claimed. He is the kingpin of an emerging “Maya gang” and has been allegedly involved in at least four murders. He is learned to have claimed that the man he killed, Harpreet Gill, had slapped his associate, a minor, last month and that he wanted to avenge that insult.
