Firing near Hotel Ashok?

New Delhi, Jan 30 (PTI) Empty cartridges were found
near a government-run five star hotel in the Indian national
capital with the police initiating an investigation to find
out whether there was any firing incident in the locality.

The cartridges were recovered from outside the Hotel
Ashok situated in the high-security Chanakyapuri locality on
January 28.
Investigations began after hotel authorities lodged a
complaint with police claiming that there was some firing
incident outside its gate besides handing over the empty
cartridges.
A senior police official said they have received the
complaint and investigations were on.
When contacted, Additional Commissioner (New Delhi)
Shankar Dass said that the matter was reported by the hotel
authorities well after 12 hours of the incident.
"We received the complaint 12 hours after the
incident. They have given us the empty cartridges. We have to
examine whether somebody opened fire there or cartridges were
left there.
"We don't know why the hotel authorities took 12 hours
to inform us. They should have called 100 soon after the
incident. We are investigating the matter," Dass said. PTI SJY
