Delhi Police’s Special Cell nabbed two Haryana-based shooters of the Tillu Tajpuriya gang following a shootout in the Rohini area.
According to police, the shooters, including 24 years old Narender from Sonipat and 22 year old 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, 26 year old 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 (Special Cell), 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.
