The incident sparked concern among the residents. Police were subsequently informed and investigated the crime scene.

The shooting occurred in D-2 Block of the Nand Nagri police station area, where unidentified miscreants targeted three houses and opened fire indiscriminately. The families narrowly escaped.

A video showed unidentified attackers firing and pelting stones.

Speaking to IANS, a local said that about 50 unidentified people attacked her home. All of them were wearing masks.

"We know who these people are. A dispute arose seven years ago regarding my daughter. Since then, there has been frequent firing and stone pelting outside my house. My sons have been beaten up. We are threatened with false cases. I am also told that they'll shoot my children," the woman said.

"Even late on Friday night, three of our houses were attacked. There was firing and stones were pelting. All the family members were upstairs. If we hadn't been upstairs, someone could have lost their life. Our children are in constant danger," she added.
