NEW DELHI: Two sharpshooters of the Kala Jathedi gang were arrested following a heavy exchange of fire on Tuesday, officials said and claimed to have foiled a conspiracy to kill gangster Tillu Tajpuria and a Delhi Police constable. The accused -- Parvinder (31) and Tony (22), had planned to execute Tajpuria when he was to be produced in a court here, the police said.
On September 24 last year, jailed gangster Jitendra Gogi was shot dead by two men, who were dressed as lawyers, inside a Rohini courtroom here. The police in retaliatory fire had killed the assailants who were from the rival Tillu gang.
