The CCTV footage from the area displayed the scuffle-gone-wrong as Gurmeet, clad in a yellow turban, is seen taking a step back and pulling out the gun from his pocket.

The latter was pronounced dead after being taken to a nearby hospital, officials said. Kuljeet Kaur is currently undergoing treatment, they added. Gurmeet was arrested following the incident, and a case under several sections of the IPC, as well as that of the Arms Act, has been registered against him.

His social media account consists of several photos with the gangster, police also said.
