Kolkata: In a daring encounter, the Special Task Force (STF) of West Bengal Police on Wednesday gunned down two notorious gangsters from Punjab who were hiding in a rented apartment at a multi-storeyed residential complex in New Town area near Kolkata.
A police officer was injured as the criminals also opened fire.
According to police, the duo was wanted for multiple crimes in several states like Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh.
