New Delhi: Two members of the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate were apprehended after a brief exchange of fire in Vasant Kunj area on Friday night, police said.

According to police, the arrested individuals, identified as Anish and a 15-year-old juvenile, were allegedly on their way to carry out an extortion-related firing near a renowned 5-star hotel in South Delhi, when they were caught.

The duo was apprehended based on specific intelligence inputs. As they neared the target location on a motorcycle, the police intercepted them, leading to a brief exchange of fire.

While a total of five rounds were fired by the accused, the police retaliated with two rounds in self-defence, and no injuries happened, according to the police.

Two sophisticated pistols with four live cartridges and the motorcycle used in the crime have been seized.

A case under relevant sections 186/353/307/34 IPC of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act has been registered at the Special Cell police station.

Further investigation is underway. (with ANI inputs)
