New Delhi: An encounter broke out between cops and Lawrence Bishnoi gang members in the Capital’s Rohini area on Saturday.
Following a tip-off on Bishnoi gang members, Delhi Police’s Special Cell laid a trap near Barwala-Bawana Road in Delhi on Saturday afternoon, India Today reported.
The information turned out to be true, and despite being warned by the police to surrender, the alleged gangsters fired three to four rounds and tried to escape. The police opened fire in retaliation.
