What is triggering this gun culture in Delhi now? Tune in to The Big Story!
Four days and three consecutive firings in the capital. What precedence is Delhi setting with the kind of lawlessness that we’ve witnessed in the past few days?

And then two more incidents followed on 1 February in Shaheen Bagh, and then on the night of 2 February in Jamia again.Two of the gunmen have been apprehended, but the question is what is driving Delhi to its edge so close to the election season?
