Shootout in Rohini: Delhi Police Nab Two Tillu Gang Members
In a significant breakthrough, the Delhi Police have apprehended two alleged members of the notorious Tillu Tajpuriya gang following a fierce shootout in the Rohini district. The daring operation, which unfolded on Sunday, has brought to an end a prolonged manhunt for the duo, who were wanted in connection with the recent murder of a rival gang member.
The Accused: Vicky and Vishal
The two accused, identified as Vicky, alias Rahul Ranga (27), and Vishal, alias Sahil, alias Leelu (26), were arrested after they allegedly opened fire on a police team near UER-II Road. The suspects, who hail from Ghaziabad and Delhi respectively, were shot in the legs during the retaliatory firing by the police. Thankfully, no police personnel were injured in the exchange of fire.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini) Shashank Jaiswal, the accused were wanted in connection with the murder of Harish Mathur, a member of the Gogi and Dinesh Karala gangs. Mathur was shot dead in the Karala area on July 30, sparking a massive manhunt for the perpetrators.
The Murder of Harish Mathur
Mathur’s murder was allegedly orchestrated by the Tillu gang due to his association with the rival Gogi gang. The police had registered a case at the Kanjhawala police station following the incident. Investigators believe that Mathur’s murder was a deliberate attempt to eliminate him from the scene, given the complex web of gang rivalries in the city.
Recovery of Incriminating Evidence
During the operation, the police recovered two illegal pistols, six live cartridges, six empty cartridge cases, and a motorcycle allegedly used in the crime. The motorcycle, which belonged to one of the accused, was used during the commission of the crime. The recovery of this evidence is a significant breakthrough in the case and will likely help the police build a strong case against the accused.
The Delhi Police’s success in apprehending the two Tillu gang members is a testament to their commitment to maintaining law and order in the city. The operation is a significant step towards dismantling the Tillu gang’s operations in Delhi and will likely send a strong message to other gang members that the police will not tolerate their activities.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the police will proceed with the case against the accused. Will they face trial for their alleged involvement in Mathur’s murder, or will they be able to wriggle out of the charges? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the Delhi Police have made a significant dent in the Tillu gang’s operations, and the city is safer as a result.
