Lawyer shot at outside home

NEW DELHI - A lawyer was seriously injured when unidentified assailants opened fire at him outside his home in east Delhi Thursday night, police said.

“The victim, Rishiraj, 50, was just a few meters from his residence at Karkardooma when shots were fired at him around 9 p.m.,” said a senior police official.

The bullet hit the lawyer in his skull and he was immediately rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences’ trauma centre. His condition is currently reported to be stable.

Police suspect that the assailants that attacked Rishiraj may be linked to those who killed his son in 2009.
