A 21-year-old man died after accidentally shooting himself in the chest during a struggle with his father in northeast Delhi’s Bhajanpura, an official said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The man was identified as Sachin Kumar, police said, adding that his father works as a security guard in a private organisation.<\/p>\n
After returning home on Thursday night, Sachin Kumar engaged in a heated argument with his family, police said.<\/p>\n
In a fit of rage, he grabbed his father’s licensed double-barreled gun and threatened to take his own life, they added.<\/p>\n
As his father attempted to wrest the firearm from him, the gun accidentally discharged a bullet, hitting Sachin in the chest.<\/p>\n
He was immediately taken to GTB Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.<\/p>\n
“We have seized the weapon and launched further investigation into the matter,” said the officer.<\/p>\n
