Police said the two men were involved in recent firing incidents in a gym in outer Delhi and an attack on a businessman in east Delhi’s Vinod Nagar, where shots were fired to demand extortion money.

According to officials, the anti-narcotics team of North Delhi received information that the suspects would arrive near Hiranki Mor. “A trap was laid in the area. When the police attempted to intercept them, the suspects opened fire, prompting retaliation by the police team,” said the source.

One accused was injured in the retaliatory firing and was taken to a nearby hospital, while his associate was apprehended on the spot, police said, adding that two pistols and live cartridges were seized from them.
