| Two inter-state gangsters wanted in several cases, including murder, kidnapping and extortion, and carrying rewards on their heads were killed in an encounter with police in northwest Delhi in the wee hours today. Satish Chaudhary, who was the kingpin of the notorious Satish gang, and his associate Vijay Pandit were killed by a team of Delhi Police's Special Cell in an encounter near Swarn Jayanti Park in Rohini in Northwest Delhi early today, DCP (Special Cell) Ajay Kumar told a press conference. Acting on a tip-off that Chaudhary, who was one of the most wanted gangsters of UP and Delhi, would come to Rohini to meet his associates, the police team laid a trap to nab them. "Chaudhary and Pandit reached the spot in a Wagon R car, but when police intercepted the vehicle and asked them to surrender, they started firing indiscriminately on the police team," Kumar said. Police returned the fire and in this exchange of fire the two gangsters were injured, Kumar said. Chaudhary and Pandit were taken to hospital, where they were declared brought dead, he added. Kumar said a 9mm pistol with magazine, a .30 mm pistol of Chinese make and five live cartridges were recovered from the slain gangsters. The car in which they were travelling was also seized. |
