Several people are reported to have been killed in a shootout that took place inside the premises of Delhi’s Rohini court. Among those dead are also two attackers, who entered the court premises in lawyers’ attire.
A report by NDTV said that one Jitender Gogi, a gangster, was allegedly shot dead. Gogi was being produced at Rohini court when the armed members of the rival gang, dressed as lawyers opened fire.
One female lawyer too has sustained injuries. More than 30 rounds of bullets were fired in the shootout.
Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana was quoted by news agency ANI as saying, “Two criminals opened fire at gangster (Jitender Mann) ‘Gogi’ when he was taken to the (Rohini) court for a hearing. In retaliation, police shot dead both the attackers. One of them was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000.”
Gogoi, a notorious gangster, was arrested around two years ago from neighbouring Gurgaon on Haryana.
