Dhruv's mother, Ritu Kant, 37, who was shot in the abdomen and chest, had died a few hours after she was shot.

The mother-son due were getting into their car after shopping in the afternoon when constable Mahipal shot them point-blank. The boy was shot twice in the head and once in the shoulder.

Accused Mahipal was arrested on Gurugram-Faridabad Road two hours after the attack.

The police claimed the accused had shot the duo following a sudden provocation. Mahipal lost his temper when the judge’s wife and son scolded him for being untraceable after they had finished their shopping and he shot them in a fit of rage, said the police.
