The Noida police nabbed two members of the infamous Bawaria gang early Wednesday morning, following a gunfight in which the duo was injured.

The suspects were identified as Pawan and Shivram, both residents of Jarcha village in Dadri of Gautam Budh Nagar.

Police teams were formed and check posts were set up following an input that the suspects were in Noida and planning to commit a crime in the city, according to the officials. The duo was stopped near a roundabout in Noida Sector 1 around 4.30 am, but they escaped. Other police teams were informed about this and they tried to stop the duo’s motorcycle — which they had stolen earlier — near Sector 14 A.

“The duo opened fire at the police team chasing them, and was injured in a retaliatory firing. They were admitted to a district hospital. They are now in police custody,” said additional deputy commissioner of police (zone 1) Kumar Ranvijay Singh.

Police have seized an illegal pistol, a knife and a countrymade weapon from the suspects’ possession. They also recovered a gold chain that the duo had snatched from Sector 20 a few days ago, police said.

“There are over two dozen cases including cases of theft, snatching, dacoity, murder gangster act, arms act, etc. registered against the suspects in Noida, Delhi and Ghaziabad. Other members of the gang are also on the police radar,” Singh added.

We are looking at other cases the suspects were involved in, and efforts are underway to nab their accomplices, police said.
