The incident in which two bikers fired at a tourist vehicle near the Jama Masjid here could be an attempt to spread scare just ahead of the Commonwealth Games,official sources said on Sunday.
The sources said all angles were being probed and any terror angle in the incident cannot be ruled out as yet.
They also said the firing could be an attempt to spread scare just ahead of the sporting extravaganza when a large number of tourists and foreign players are expected to visit the national capital.
Firing at the tourists without any specific reason points to the scare angle,they said.
The city has been put on a high alert after the shooting incident which comes just two weeks before the Games.
The Union Home Ministry,which is closely monitoring the situation,has sought a report from the Delhi Police.
Sources said the police are in the process of creating a sketch based on eyewitness accounts. Though some eyewitnesses had said the two shooters who came on the bike were wearing T-shirts,some say they were wearing raincoats.
Meanwhile,a high-level meeting on the security related matters for the Games is slated to be held on Tuesday. Over one lakh security personnel would be deployed during the Games to be held from October 3-14.
