A notorious gangster of the Jitender Gogi-Deepak Boxer Gang, Sandeep alias Baasi, was apprehended here on Wednesday after a brief exchange of fire.

The arrested gangster was injured by a bullet during the encounter with the personnel of a special cell of the Delhi Police and Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) who carried out a joint operation to nab him.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Jasmeet Singh said the police came into action after receiving definite information about Sandeep’s location and laid a trap for the accused. The storming group included a team of UP Police STF/Meerut officers who had previously arrived at the Special Cell office.
