A policeman was injured on Tuesday evening in an encounter with an armed gang of auto lifters in Dwarka area.
The incident took place after a team of Delhi police received inputs that the gang would strike Dwarka again. The team led by Sub Inspector Naveen laid a trap to intercept the miscreants, but they opened fire at the cops in a bid to escape. In a brief exchange of fire, Naveen was shot at.
The accused managed to flee, and the policeman underwent surgery on Wednesday.

In retaliation, the police also opened fire. In the exchange, one bullet fired by the accused hit Naveen in his right thigh.
