Overview
- Gurugram crime branch teams intercepted a motorcycle in the Manesar area and engaged the two suspects in a chase that ended in a gunfight early Saturday leaving both men shot in the leg and taken to hospital.
- Police recovered a foreign-made pistol, a foreign-made revolver, two magazines, spent cartridges and the motorcycle used by the suspects at the scene.
- Investigators say the arrested men are Karan alias Romi, 24, and Pravesh, 21, who face multiple FIRs across Delhi and Haryana for extortion, firing and robbery though published reports differ on the exact number of cases.
- Authorities told reporters they suspect the pair were en route to carry out a murder and will question them after medical clearance to confirm the target, motive and any wider network ties.
- The seizure of imported arms raises questions about weapons sourcing and will require coordination between Gurugram and Delhi police as the probe seeks links to the Himanshu Bhau gang and to earlier extortion shootings.
