The attack was carried out against four residents of outer Delhi’s Tajpur village by wanted criminal Jitender Mann alias Gogi, said MM Oberoi, special commissioner of police (special cell). Carrying a reward of Rs 2 lakh on his head, Gogi physically led the attack in which at least two dozen rounds were fired, a survivor told police.
