Gurgaon shocker: Wife of additional sessions judge, who was shot at by his gunman on Saturday, has succumbed to her injuries. The wife and teenage son of an Additional District Judge were allegedly shot at by the judge's personal security guard. The two were shot at in a crowded market area in sector-49 of Gurgaon and were left critically injured. Police said the incident occurred around 3.30 pm when Additional Sessions Judge Krishan Kant's wife Ritu and son Dhruv (18) had gone for shopping in the Arcadia market. They were accompanied by the judge's guard, Mahipal. DCP-East Sulochna Gajraj was quoted as saying that some locals informed the police about gunshots being fired outside the Arcadia market. When a police team reached the spot, they found Ritu and Dhruv lying in a pool of blood. Both of them were rushed to the hospital in the city soon after the incident where they are in a "critical" condition. Watch Video- Gajraj further said Ritu has suffered bullet injury in her chest, while Dhruv in his head. "They were taken to the Medanta Hospital where they are undergoing treatment but their condition is critical," according to the officer. The police team could not promptly find Mahipal there, however, he was later arrested from Faridabad. Gurgaon police PRO Subhash Bokan was quoted as saying that Mahipal was being interrogated to establish the reason why he opened fire. Watch Video- After initial interrogation, police officers said Mahipal was a Haryana police head constable and was serving as a personal security guard of the judge for the past two years. He had been demanding leave to go home for the past few days but this was not denied. This might have led to him suffering from depression, the officers said. "The judge also used to scold him often," one of the interrogating officers said. On Saturday also, the judge's wife scolded him inside the car when they were going to the market, the officer said. He had a grudge against the judge, according to police. In video footage of the incident recorded by a witness, Mahipal is seen with the gun in his hand. He was also seen trying to push Dhruv inside the car as he laid listless on the road.
