Two days after shooting, prime accused still at large; cops suspect gang rivalry

It was a wellplanned murder conspired by Faheem alias Badshah Khan. The accused -- Saif, Shawaiz, Fauzaan and one juvenile -- did as Faheem tasked them to but one of them left his phone on.

“This was the first lead through which we were able to follow their tracks after they made a brazen killing at the hospital,” a senior Delhi Police officer told this newspaper.

The shooter by mistake killed another man (Riyazuddin) in place of another patient named Waseem (33), a criminal who came out from jail on bail.
