Two alleged shooters linked to gangster Himanshu Bhau’s gang were injured in a gunfight with Delhi Police in Rohini, while three suspects, including a juvenile, were arrested on Tuesday night, police sources said.
Following the murder, police teams were working to trace the suspects. When the suspects allegedly opened fire at the police team, the personnel retaliated, resulting in the encounter. Further investigation is underway to establish the motive and identify others involved in the murder and its alleged links to Bhau.
Over 10 bullet rounds were fired from both sides during the exchange of fire, according to sources.
The encounter took place when a team of the Rohini district police’s Special Staff intercepted the suspects in connection with the murder, they said. Police said the killing was suspected to have been carried out after the victim allegedly failed to pay an extortion demand.
