The suspect, who has identified himself as Kapil Gujjar, has been taken into custody by police personnel, news agency ANI reported.

Empty bullet shells were seen at the site where the man fired bullets in Shaheen Bagh. Following the incident, women formed a human chain at Shaheen Bagh. No injuries were reported in the incident of firing. The incident has triggered panic in the area as it comes just two days after a man opened fire at protesters in the Jamia Nagar area of Delhi, injuring one student.
