Murder of gym owner: Sharpshooter arrested after encounter with police in Delhi | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: A sharpshooter of Lawrence Bishnoi and Hashim Baba gangs who was allegedly involved in the murder of a gym owner was arrested on Saturday after an encounter with the Special Cell of Delhi Police in the Narela area, they said officials. Madhur alias Ayaan, a resident of Kabir Nagar, suffered bullet injuries in both his legs during the gunfight and was admitted to a hospital, police said.
Madhur and his colleague Raju allegedly shot dead 35-year-old Nadir Shah outside his gym in Greater Kailash 1 on September 12. Shah was facing criminal cases, including that of robbery and attempt to murder, according to police.
Around 8 p.m., a Special Cell team received a tip-off about Madhur’s movement on the Narela-Bawana road. The team laid a trap and signaled Madhur, who was on a motorcycle, to stop at a residential complex around 9 p.m. However, when he saw the police team, he opened fire, an officer said.
The police team took revenge. A total of 11 bullets were fired from both sides, he said.
“During this exchange of fire, Madhur sustained bullet injuries in his right knee and left ankle. A bullet fired by the suspect hit Sub-Inspector Adesh Kumar, who was wearing a bulletproof jacket,” the officer said.
A .32 semi-automatic pistol and eight live rounds were recovered from the scene. A Honda Hornet, in which Madhur was traveling, was also seized, he said.
Efforts are on to nab Raju, police said.
