A shooting incident in Ghaziabad’s Khoda region resulted in serious injuries to two sisters, aged 20 and her younger sibling, on the evening of June 17, 2026. According to the police, the attacker allegedly entered their residence around 4:30 pm and opened fire, causing chaos in the vicinity. The siblings were promptly taken to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Delhi for medical assistance.

Background of the Accused

The individual identified as the suspect is Johnny, a resident of Baradari located near the Old Bus Stand area. Reports suggest that Johnny had previously been engaged to one of the sisters, with the marriage arrangement fixed nearly a year ago. However, the engagement was reportedly dissolved about four months prior to the shooting. This break in the marriage alliance may have motivated the attack, as indicated by initial investigations by law enforcement officials.

Witness Accounts and Reactions

Family members have claimed that they observed Johnny wandering through their neighbourhood for approximately thirty minutes before he attempted to enter their home. Upon seeing him with a firearm, the sisters allegedly locked themselves in a room. The accused reportedly tried to force his way into the room by breaking a window and subsequently discharged multiple rounds in their direction. The gunfire instilled a sense of panic among local residents, prompting several to quickly rush to the scene after the sound of gunshots.

Police Response and Investigation

Upon receiving the alert regarding the shooting at around 4:30 pm, Ghaziabad Police acted swiftly to transfer both injured women to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officials indicated that during the incident, the younger sister sustained injuries while attempting to protect her elder sibling. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Trans-Hindon), Dhawal Jaiswal, mentioned that initial findings appear to link the shooting to the previously terminated engagement between the accused and one of the victims.

Law enforcement officials are actively pursuing the investigation, with senior officers inspecting the crime scene. A formal case has been registered based on a complaint submitted by the victims’ family. Multiple police teams have been assigned to locate the absconding suspect, who remains at large. Authorities have initiated raids and stated that further legal actions will be pursued as the investigation progresses.

The shooting has raised concerns within the community regarding safety and the escalating violence associated with personal disputes. Local residents expressed shock and disbelief over the incident, particularly given the apparent relationship history between the attacker and the victims. The police aim to provide updates as they continue their investigation, striving to ensure that responsibilities are addressed and appropriate measures are taken to confront incidents of violence in the area.
