2 Arrested Days After Shootout At Delhi Court That Left 3 Gangsters Dead

New Delhi: Two people are arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police, two days after a jailed gangster and his two attackers were killed during a shootout inside a Delhi courtroom.
The arrested men are Umang and Vinay, the police sources said. Both accused are residents of Haiderpur in north west Delhi.

The men, said sources, were arrested supported the CCTV footage from gate number 4 of the Rohini court in north Delhi where the shootout happened .

On the day of the attack, Umang, along side the 2 shooters, reached a mall in Rohini’s sector 9 where all of them got dressed as lawyers, the sources said.

Upon reaching the court, Umang, consistent with the plan, had to attend within the car, sources said. The shooters were expected to end the work and escape within the waiting car, they added.

As the plan derailed and therefore the shooters got killed, Umang ran away, they said.

On Friday, gunmen dressed as lawyers, present in court, shot gangster Jitender Gogi thrice. Special force personnel escorting the gangster then fired back, killing both the attackers on the spot.

In videos, gunshots are heard in court and policemen and lawyers are seen during a scramble within the court building.

The shooting was the results of a rivalry of years between Jitender Gogi’s gang and therefore the rival “Tillu gang”, the police said.

“Two men dressed as lawyers opened fire at Jitender Gogi inside the court. That’s when police retaliated and killed those two assailants. it isn’t a gang war,” Delhi commissioner Rakesh Asthana had told NDTV.

“The police acted swiftly and killed both the assailants. Total three are dead, including Gogi,” said Mr Asthana.
More than 25 people have died over the years in clashes between the 2 gangs, the police said.
