New Delhi, The Special Cell of Delhi Police nabbed two Haryana-based shooters of the Tillu Tajpuriya gang following a shootout in the Rohini area, officials said on Friday.
According to police, the shooters Narender from Sonipat and Abhishek from Panipat were rushed to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds in their legs.
The arrests were made following a tip-off about the presence of the two shooters in the northwest Delhi area.
"Narender and Abhishek were wanted in a murder case in the Mundka police station area. On November 9, Amit Lakra , who had been released on bail in a robbery case, was shot dead in Mundka. The Tillu Tajpuriya-Davinder Bambiha gang claimed responsibility for the murder through social media posts," Deputy Commissioner of Police , Pranav Tayal, said.
The assailants, who came on a motorcycle, fired several rounds at Lakra before fleeing from the spot, the officer said.
On November 14, the Special Cell arrested Nihal, a resident of Yamuna Nagar and one of the alleged shooters of Lakra, after a shootout. Police later made one more arrest while the two main shooters, including Narender, remained at large.
"On Thursday, a tip-off was received about the movement of the two shooters in the Rohini area. As our team spotted the two suspects on a motorcycle on Karala Road and signalled them to stop, they tried to escape after opening fire at the police party," the DCP said.
