Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested two accused allegedly involved in the Aya Nagar shooting incident following a brief encounter, which occurred in Dwarka on Tuesday.

According to Delhi Police, both accused sustained gunshot wounds to their legs during the encounter. A police team narrowly escaped harm when one bullet hit a member's bulletproof jacket. Additionally, police also recovered two sophisticated weapons and live cartridges from the scene.

Further details are awaited.

Earlier, on November 30, a resident of Aya Nagar, Ratan Lal, was gunned down by two criminals, in which 69 bullets were fired at his body.

Earlier, a man allegedly killed his mother, sister and younger brother due to financial distress and later walked into Delhi's Laxmi Nagar Police Station to confess to the crime, police said on Monday.

According to police, the accused, identified as Yashveer Singh (25), a resident of the Mangal Bazar area, arrived at the police station at around 5 pm and informed that he had allegedly murdered his family members owing to severe financial problems.
