Overview
- Delhi's Special Cell, which engaged two suspects in a gunfight Monday near the UER–Baprola Link Road by Najafgarh, arrested Deepak and Atul after both were shot in the legs.
- Officers recovered two semi‑automatic pistols with used cartridges and live rounds, and the men were taken to a hospital where police said they are out of danger.
- Investigators allege the pair is tied to the February 18 killing of retired sub‑inspector Rishpal Singh, a January 2 firing linked to extortion calls in Begumpur, a March 8 attack at a Gurgaon car showroom, and a Rohtak murder case.
- Police say the crimes were directed by Hisar‑born gangster Himanshu Bhau, believed to be running operations from the United States after fleeing Portugal, with more than 20 cases pending against him.
- In a separate push this month, the Special Cell also arrested two alleged members of the Hashim Baba gang and seized a loaded pistol, which points to a wider crackdown on inter‑state gunmen.
