In an intense gun battle in south Delhi’s swank Green Park neighbourhood, Delhi police on Monday evening shot at and injured four ‘robbers,’ who were later rushed to the nearby AIIMS Trauma Centre with serious gunshot injuries, where the condition of at least two is reported to be critical.
According to attending medics at AIIMS, all four men are alive, but two of them are in a critical condition.
“Shortly after the encounter, around 1645 hours, seven people were bought to the Trauma Centre. Three were policemen, and the other four were injured robbers,” said an AIIMS doctor.
The robbers, as identified by the doctors, are Sonu (29), Shakeel (24), Satyaprakash Yadav (30) and Nadeem (29).
Nadeem is believed to be an Uzbek national.
Satyaprakash Yadav, identified by the Delhi Police, as the leader of the gang has suffered “bone injuries” and is currently stable.
Among the police officials injured are Umesh Yadav, CT Suresh, and Kaushalendra Kumar.
Police officers involved in the shootout suffered minor injuries in their upper body and are reported to be stable.
Medics say the officials were wearing bullet proof vests, otherwise police losses could have been heavy.
The Joint Commissioner of Police, Southern Range, Ajai Kashyap visited the four arrested at AIIMS.
The four traveling in a black Honda Accord were suspected bank robbers and reported to have been accompanied by five other gang members in a white Santro, which disappeared after the shootout started after the robbers were cornered in the lot of a local Gurudwara.
The police has recovered automatic pistols, several rounds of unused ammunition, bullet proof vests and a large number of mobile phones from the suspects.
No inputs were available on as to how the ‘robbers’ dodged security agencies and smuggled arms into the national capital pointing at gaping lapses in the security cover over some of the most strategic locations in the country.
