The Delhi Police carried out an encounter in Ghaziabad and nabbed a notorious criminal after the operation. Although nobody was killed in the encounter but one of the criminals was shot in the waist, police officials said.
However, one of the criminals, Gurmeet, allegedly escaped from the spot. The one who was nabbed has been identified as Mithun alias Gaurav, police said. The incident took place in Mohan Nagar where the special staff of northwest district was chasing two criminals suspected in the case of robbery of Rs 90 lakh which took place in northeast Delhi. It was not clear if those nabbed were actually involved in the heist.
Around 2pm, the cops intercepted the robbers and asked them to surrender. However, the robbers instead fired at the police team. As the cops saved themselves and retaliated in return, one of the robbers got hit and fell down.
