Two shooters of the Rohit Godara-Lawrence Bishnoi gang were arrested from Haryana’s Nuh area after an exchange of fire, said police.
The accused were identified as Ravi Kumar (30), a resident of Delhi, and Vishal (27), a resident of Mahavirpura colony, Gurgaon.
On Monday night, the Special Task Force of the Haryana Police and the Counter Intelligence Unit of the Delhi Police’s special cell arrested the accused near Palla Pahadi village on Tawdu-Nuh Road. According to police, the Haryana Police STF was patrolling the Revasan Nuh under the KMP flyover Monday night when it received inputs that two men, accused of murdering a resident of Gurugram in Rohtak a month ago, were in the area with arms.
“The team rushed to arrest the criminals. As the team approached the slope of Palla Pahadi, the two men fired 10 rounds at the police team. The police too opened fire in retaliation and fired around 15 rounds… both criminals were shot in the leg,” said Krishna, a spokesperson of Nuh police.
Two pistols and three rounds were recovered from the duo. An FIR was registered against them under relevant sections of the IPC and the Arms Act. “Both of them have been admitted to Nalhar medical college for treatment. They will be interrogated once they are discharged,” said a police officer.
