A fresh police encounter took place in Delhi’s Dwarka area after security forces intercepted two armed suspects during a late-night operation. The action, carried out by Delhi Police following specific intelligence inputs, resulted in the arrest of both men after a brief exchange of gunfire.
Officials said the suspects were moving through the Dwarka region when a police team attempted to stop them for questioning. Instead of surrendering, the duo allegedly fired at the officers in an attempt to escape. Police personnel responded swiftly, leading to a short encounter that ended with the suspects being overpowered.
During the operation, the police recovered illegal firearms and ammunition from the accused. Both individuals sustained injuries and were immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Authorities confirmed that their injuries are not life-threatening and they remain under police watch.
Initial investigations suggest that the arrested men may be connected to previous shooting incidents and other serious criminal activities in Delhi and surrounding areas. Law enforcement agencies are now questioning the suspects to determine their network, associates, and possible links to organised crime gangs.
Senior police officials stated that the operation reflects the department’s zero-tolerance approach towards armed criminals and violent crime. They emphasized that such actions are crucial to maintaining public safety and preventing further incidents in residential areas.
The area was temporarily secured following the encounter to ensure the safety of local residents. Police also reassured the public that heightened vigilance and targeted operations will continue in sensitive zones across the city.
Further legal proceedings will be initiated once the suspects are declared fit for questioning. The investigation remains ongoing, and more details are expected as police gather additional evidence.
