| Inspector Pradeep Sharma was reinstated 3 days ago. Wonder if he is on the job as yet? |
| An encounter, eh? Sounds suspiciously close to a 'cross-fire'. Maybe Sharma was on sabbatical with the RAB ... |
MUMBAI: Chhota Shakeel gang member Anil Mhatre, wanted in at least 22 cases including murder and extortion, was on Sunday gunned down by police in an encounter at Kalachowke in south Mumbai, police said.
| Mumbai, .. okay, at least we know where that is ... |
Mhatre, a sharp shooter, allegedly opened fire at the police personnel who asked him to surrender after they surrounded him near Peninsula tower at 06.30 am following a tip-off.
| Thanks to Mukkarjee the Weasel ... |
He was wanted on twelve systems in at least 22 cases including murder, attempt to murder and extortion, Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Rakesh Maria said.
Mhatre tried to escape from the spot, ...
"Which spot?"
"That spot!" |
Maria said adding that he was asked to surrender before police when he opened fire at the officers.
"Drop da rod, Anil, and come out wit yer mitts in da air!"
"You'll never take me alive, flatfoots!" [bang-bang-bing-bang] |
"In self-defence police opened fire
and Mhatre received serious injuries.
"Cheez Sarge, it looks serious."
"Shuddup and get his feet into the wagon!" |
He was rushed to nearby hospital ...
| Not a level I trauma center but no matter ... |
... where he was declared dead," Maria said.
The shooter fired four rounds at police while they in retaliation fired three rounds, Maria said.
"Nice shooting, Chaudhray!"
"Thanks, Sarge!" |
