Amit Kumar had just bought the weapon and was showing it to his friends. In an attempt to show them the safety catch feature of the gun, he removed the magazine and pointed the gun at his temple. Completely unaware of the events that were to follow, he pulled the trigger and shot himself in the head. After the bullet was fired, Amit’s friends went into a frenzy and took him to Batra hospital where they abandoned him on a stretcher and fled.
After the incident, one of Amit’s friends went over to his house to hand over the pistol to his brother, this is where the matter came in the eyes of the police. The Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Vijay Kumar, told the Times Of India that they received a call at the Sangam Vihar police station from the Batra Hospital where Kumar was abandoned. The call was received at around 1.30 am informing the police about a man who had been admitted to the hospital with a bullet injury.
