It was suspected that the incident happened due to a gang war. However, police said the investigation is underway and things will be clear after that.

Police claimed that a possible gang war has been averted as the accused were on the way to commit another murder of a rival gang member.

Three sophisticated pistols, one country-made pistol and nine live rounds were seized from their possession. The recovered pistols were used in a recent murder case in Baba Haridas Nagar, police said.

The incident happened days after jailed gangster Jitender Maan alias Gogi was killed inside the crowded Rohini courtroom here by two assailants who were then shot dead in police's retaliatory fire. The two gunmen, who killed Gogi, were suspected to be members of rival Tillu gang.
