The Delhi police has arrested six persons, including two juveniles, allegedly involved in various crimes including two murders, after a brief shootout in southwest Delhi on Monday.
The accused have been identified as Naveen, alias Haku, 19, Lalit, 21, Neeraj, 19, and Sudeep, alias Shooter, 19, besides two juveniles, all hailing from Haryana. The police claimed to have solved six cases and recovered an assault rifle, 3 pistols with 13 live cartridges, a robbed Swift car, jewellery and mobile phones from their possession.
A robbery had taken place on January 30 in Bindapur after which a manhunt was launched to nab the culprits. “During investigations, it came to light that a notorious gang ‘Mainpal’ active since 2005 was involved. On Monday, at 10 pm, a Swift car (DL9C Q-0081) was intercepted at Rawta Mor. The six criminals in it opened fire but the officers overpowered and arrested them,” said additional CP (southwest) A.K. Ojha.
“During interrogation they confessed to their involvement in three heinous cases and three other cases. They used to commit petty offences in Haryana but changed their area by committing murders and robberies to terrorise the public and to gain notoriety. They are fond of girls and consumed imported liquor,” Mr Ojha said.
All the accused have previous involvement in crime.

International fliers can check in on Airport line
New Delhi, Feb. 21: International fliers can now board Airport Metro Express “baggage-less” from Thursday when the much talked about check-in facility for flights abroad at its stations will kick off. Coinciding with the first anniversary of its operation, the Reliance Infrastructure-led consortium will make this facility available at its New Delhi and Shivaji Stadium stations from February 23.
While national carrier Air India will begin check-in of passengers’ baggage from Thursday, private carriers Jet and Kingfisher will follow suit.
The facility will allow fliers to check-in their baggage before boarding the Airport Metro Express to reach the new swanky Terminal-3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
They will be given the boarding pass at the station itself.
The luggage will then be transferred to the train, which has a dedicated space, and directly boarded to the respective aircraft through a conveyor.
