New Delhi, Nov 16 (PTI) An employee at a petrol pump was injured in a firing incident in northeast Delhi's Gokulpuri area, police said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday night when four men came on two motorcycles and one of them opened fire at the petrol pump's office area.
The shooter was also caught in the CCTV camera installed at the petrol pump.
