In a shocking incident that unfolded early Thursday morning, a Unani practitioner was fatally shot inside a nursing home in Jaitpur Extension, South-East Delhi. Police reports indicate that the assailants, believed to be minors, arrived at the facility shortly after midnight, requesting a dressing change for an injured toe. After the treatment, the suspects proceeded to the victim’s cabin, where they shot him without provocation.

Authorities were alerted to the incident around 1:45 AM and arrived at the scene to find the victim, identified as Javed Akhtar, slumped over in a chair, blood oozing from his wounds. The nursing home, Nima Hospital, was secured as forensic teams began their investigation.

Deputy Police Commissioner Rajesh Deo confirmed that preliminary investigations suggest the shooting was a targeted attack. Evidence indicates that the assailants had previously visited the nursing home, indicating premeditation. "This appears to be a targeted killing as it was unprovoked and the suspects had conducted reconnaissance," said Deo.

The police are actively reviewing CCTV footage from the nursing home and its surroundings in an effort to identify the suspects and apprehend them. Community members have expressed their shock and concern over the incident, highlighting the growing issue of violence in the area.
