According to the complaint filed by the mother of the 17-year-old injured student, on Saturday his son's school friend called him asking to meet him. He refused to go, but his friend said he was coming to pick him up. So her son went to Kherki Daula toll barrier, where he met his friend, she claimed.

They had food on the way, then went to pick up another friend and then all three went to the rented flat of the accused (shooter) in Sector 48, where the accused shot at him. A probe is under way,” said the spokesperson of Gurugram police.
