"I was going to the market when I heard a loud bang. A crowd had gathered near the Metro station's entrance some metres away. I saw a man in a blood-soaked shirt being carried away on a stretcher," said Suhas Sharma, a software engineer.

Others saw Das running towards the station, a bang emanating from behind followed by his shrieks.

"He kept running up the stairs and collapsed at the security check. His entire shirt had turned red," said Vishesh Garg, a 13-year-old student.

Police said Deepak had asked Das to meet him outside the Metro station's gate No. 2 to settle their differences. An argument followed and Deepak allegedly pulled out a gun.

"It looks like a case of personal enmity," said additional DCP (crime and railways) Bhairon Singh Gurjar.

Das is fighting for life at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital. Deepak is on the run.
