Following a brief exchange of gunfire in Delhi’s Vasant Kunj neighbourhood on Friday night, two individuals associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate were apprehended. Anish and a 15-year-old juvenile were apprehended while on their way to carry out an extortion-related incident near a prominent 5-star hotel in South Delhi.

The arrest was made based on specific intelligence inputs, and as the accused approached the target location on a motorcycle, police intervened, resulting in a brief exchange of gunfire. Even though the accused fired five rounds, the police responded with two rounds in self-defence, resulting in no injuries.

Two sophisticated pistols, along with four live cartridges, and the motorcycle used in the intended crime were seized by the police. A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act at the Special Cell police station, including charges of obstruction, assault, and attempt to murder.

Investigations revealed Anish’s prior involvement in six criminal cases, including armed robbery, violating the Arms Act, and assault, all within the Rohtak district. The juvenile suspect was also found to have been engaged in a previous armed robbery case in Rohtak. Further investigations are underway to gather more information about their criminal activities and connections within the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate.
