NEW DELHI (Friday, March 27, 2026) — In a high-intensity operation in Outer Delhi, the Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested two sharpshooters associated with the notorious Tillu Tajpuria gang following a brief exchange of fire. The encounter took place in Rohini Sector 28 early Friday morning, marking a significant breakthrough in a recent high-profile gang rivalry murder case.
The Operation: A Tactical Ambush
Acting on a specific tip-off regarding the movement of gang members involved in a recent killing, the Crime Branch set up a strategic trap.
- The Confrontation: When the police team intercepted the suspects on a motorcycle, the accused allegedly pulled out firearms and opened fire to evade arrest.
- The Retaliation: Police personnel returned fire in self-defense, targeting the suspects’ lower limbs to incapacitate them without causing fatal injuries.
- The Apprehension: Both suspects sustained bullet wounds to their legs. They were neutralized, disarmed, and immediately shifted to a nearby government hospital under heavy security.
Profiles of the Accused
The duo has been identified as key “hitmen” for the syndicate previously led by the late Sunil Balyan alias Tillu Tajpuria.
| Name | Role | Legal Status |
| Kunal | Sharpshooter | Arrested; under medical supervision. |
| Confidential | Juvenile (Minor) | Apprehended; to be produced before Juvenile Justice Board. |
Context: The Gogi vs. Tillu Rivalry
This arrest is part of a broader crackdown on the decades-long blood feud between the Gogi gang and the Tillu gang, which has turned Delhi’s outskirts into a recurring battleground.
- The Murder Case: These individuals were wanted for a revenge killing that took place earlier this month. With these two arrests, the total number of people apprehended in this specific case has risen to four.
- Seizures: Police recovered two sophisticated semi-automatic pistols, multiple live cartridges, and a stolen motorcycle from the encounter site.
