In a high-stakes dawn showdown on Delhi’s Urban Extension Road, police gunned down the momentum of two fugitives wanted for a foiled murder plot in Chhawla. The rapid resolution—just 24 hours after the attack—highlights the force’s relentless pursuit of justice amid rising urban crime.
It all started April 17 evening in Shyam Vihar Phase 2. Masked assailants roared in on a bike, one dismounting to press a pistol against the victim’s head. The weapon misfired, allowing the target to escape unharmed. An FIR followed on April 18, triggering intensive raids and surveillance.
Sunday’s 5:35 AM tip led AATS Dwarka personnel to corner the duo. Rocky, refusing to yield, fired wildly—three shots, one grazing a constable’s vest. Officers, maintaining composure, retaliated minimally. Their precise response wounded Rocky in the leg, leading to his capture alongside Sumit.
Seizures included Rocky’s 7.65 mm firearm with ammo and spent casings, Sumit’s loaded desi katta, and the getaway bike. Rocky confessed to the shooting attempt, Sumit to driving. Medical aid was provided to the injured, with new legal actions invoked under stringent laws.
Delhi Police hailed the operation as a testament to their ‘zero tolerance’ policy. By blending intelligence, bravery, and measured force, they neutralized a grave threat, reassuring residents that no armed predator will evade accountability in the nation’s capital.
