The accused have been identified as Manjit (23), Nitish (21) and Mahesh (25), all sharpshooters of the gang, the police said.
Three members of Tillu gang were arrested after a shootout between the officers of the Special Cell and the gang members in Outer Delhi's Alipur area on Wednesday morning.
The accused have been identified as Manjit (23), Nitish (21) and Mahesh (25), all sharpshooters of the gang, the police said. Manjit was wanted in the case of the murder of Arman, a member of the rival Gogi gang, Sanjeev Yadav, DCP, Special Cell said.
The police received an input that Manjit would be coming to the Qutub Garh bus stand to meet his associates. A trap was laid and he was taken into custody. He told the police that his associates will be coming to Budhpur intersection in the wee hours. The police spotted a white scooty with two persons on it coming from GT Karnal road. They were flagged down but instead they started speeding away. The police party chased them and then they left the bike and started running on foot. The gang members fired at the police officials and they retaliated. Nitish was hit on his leg while Mahesh was apprehended.
No police officer was injured since they were wearing bulletproof jackets, the DCP added. The injured gangster has been shifted to Raja Harishchandra Hospital where he is undergoing treatment. Further investigations into the case are underway.
There is a long-standing gang war between Jitender Alipuria alias Gogi and Sunil Tajpuria alias Tillu which has resulted in murders of several associates of both the gangs. This has forced both the gangsters to recruit more and more members to their gangs. In a similar effort, Tillu had recruited criminal Manjit Chamra and others criminals in his gang through his associate Monu Kidoli. While Gogi through his associate Mukesh recruited Arman to his fold. Mukesh had directed Arman to bring Manjit Chamra and his associates to his fold. However, Manjit refused to switch sides.
They all are involved in extortion at the behest of their gang leaders. After committing the murder of Arman, they robbed a bike at gunpoint from Kundli area. A case under section 379 B (snatching and use of force) of the IPC has been registered at Kundli police station in this regard. They also went to a government officer's house in Sonepat on August 26 and demanded Rs 50 lakh as protection money at the behest of their gang leader in order to scare the family they fired shot at his house. A case under section 386/506 IPC and 25 Arms Act has been registered at Sonepat.
