Two men who allegedly opened fire at a real estate dealer’s office were arrested following a shootout in Dwarka’s Jharoda area on Saturday night, officials said. One of the accused received a gunshot wound in the leg and was shifted to DDU hospital, they said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Ankit Singh said Veerpal (20) and Ankit (22) had allegedly opened fire at a property dealer’s office on Friday afternoon. “While our officials were investigating and scanning the CCTV cameras, both of them came back today in the same clothes and on the same bike and opened fire in the same office,” Singh said.
The officer said a police team led by Inspector Kamlesh, who was already present in the area, immediately swung into action and chased the duo and managed to overpower them near Jharoda. Another officer said that upon seeing the police team, Veerpal opened fire on them, following which the police personnel retaliated. The officer said Ankit was questioned after the arrest while Veerpal was taken for treatment. The accused have revealed that they were members of the Kala Jathedi gang and had come to the area to threaten the real estate dealer for “protection money”, police said. Police said further investigations are underway.
