Delhi Police Crime Branch has nabbed three of the sharpshooters involved in the brutal murder of 30-year-old Ravi Bhardwaj, who was shot dead on March 19 in Harewali village, Bawana. The killing was a fallout of the long-standing rivalry between the Gogi and Tillu gangs.
The sharpshooters, identified as Chetanya (22), Kunal alias Shunty (23) and a juvenile, were members of the Tillu gang, police said. According to the police, Chetanya allegedly provided crucial details about the victim's routine and location, pointed out his house, and shared updates via social media before the attack. Five armed assailants on two motorcycles then opened indiscriminate fire, killing Bhardwaj on the spot and injuring three others. On the night of March 26, police intercepted a stolen scooty in Sector-28, Rohini. The two occupants opened fire on the team. In retaliatory firing, both suspects were injured and overpowered. ACP Sanjay Kumar Nagpal and Head Constable Rohit were hit but survived due to their bulletproof jackets, police said. Police recovered two semi-automatic .32 bore pistols, seven live cartridges, and the stolen scooty. The murder is believed to be revenge for the killing of Tillu Tajpuriya in Tihar Jail, as Ravi Bhardwaj was allegedly linked to the rival Gogi gang. Further investigation is underway to nab other conspirators, including Tarun alias Tori. (ANI)
