According to Bhushan, Manjeet, in charge of the Counter Intelligence Delhi Special Cell unit, received a tip-off on Sunday. Following further development of that information, police learned the two wanted shooters were armed and allegedly planning to commit another crime.
When police teams attempted to intercept the duo, the situation escalated quickly. Bhushan said the shooters opened fire first, and police teams returned fire in self-defence.
The exchange of fire left several people injured. A police constable was hit in the leg, while four other officers took bullets on their bulletproof vests. Both shooters also sustained injuries during the encounter.
The injured shooters were rushed to a hospital immediately after the shootout. Despite medical attention, doctors declared both of them brought dead upon arrival.
The injured police constable was referred to a super-speciality hospital for further treatment.
