The Delhi police arrested a man allegedly involved in several dacoity and robbery cases after an exchange of fire near Khajuri flyover in North-East Delhi on Wednesday.
The accused has been identified as Rohtash Chauhan, a resident of Mukund Vihar in Karawal Nagar.
“An exchange of fire took place on Tuesday at about 11 p.m. near Garhi Mendu underpass near Khajuri flyover between the police team and Chauhan,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) P.S. Kushwah said.
According to the police, among others, the accused was involved in 2011 dacoity at Muthoot Finance and another case of robbery at Sunlight Colony.
On August 28 last year, he along with his accomplices Dhoom Singh, Gautam Ghish and Dinesh robbed a cash agent of ₹18 lakh near IP Park at Sunlight Colony, the police said.
The arrest was made following a tip-off that the accused would come to meet Dhoom Singh near Khajuri flyover.
