17-year-old Sai Kumar, who was shot in the head, succumbed to injuries on Monday. He had been on ventilator support since the May 27 shooting and died around 11.45 am.

The incident took place on May 27 evening when Sai went to an Amar Colony eatery with a female friend after appearing for his Class 12 examination.

The father of a 17-year-old boy who died after being shot in a crowded marketplace in South East Delhi’s Amar Colony has demanded capital punishment for the accused, saying such criminals would “commit crimes again” if they are not dealt with strictly.

“Everyone demands that what happened with my son should happen to their sons as well. My son was shot in the head twice; the administration should shoot them in the head. They will commit crimes again,” he said.
