Sonepat – In a significant crackdown on organized crime, a joint operation by the Delhi Police Crime Branch and Haryana Police’s State Task Force resulted in the deaths of three notorious gangsters. The encounter, which took place on Friday in Sonepat, eliminated Ashish Kalu, Vicky Ridhana, and Sunny Gujjar, all of whom had a history of violent criminal activities.
Details of the Encounter
The joint operation targeted the three gangsters, who were known associates of the wanted criminal Himanshu Bhau, currently in hiding in Portugal. According to the police, Ashish Kalu and Vicky Ridhana played a pivotal role in the recent shooting incident at a Burger King outlet in Delhi, which resulted in the death of 26-year-old Aman Joon. The Burger King shooting, orchestrated as a revenge attack by Himanshu Bhau, saw three assailants firing 40 rounds at the victim.
During the encounter in Sonepat, the police managed to corner the gangsters, leading to a fierce gunfight that ultimately resulted in their deaths. The operation highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to curb gang violence in the region.
Background and Criminal Activities
Ashish Kalu and Vicky Ridhana were close associates of Himanshu Bhau, a notorious gangster who has been involved in a series of violent incidents across Delhi and Haryana. Bhau, a rival of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has recently orchestrated multiple attacks, including a shooting at a Fusion car in West Delhi.
In a social media post, Himanshu Bhau had claimed responsibility for the Burger King shooting, citing it as revenge for the killing of his associate “Shakti Dada.” The Special Cell had previously neutralized one of Bhau’s shooters involved in the West Delhi incident.
Interpol has issued a red-corner notice against Himanshu Bhau, who remains at large. His continued orchestration of violent acts from abroad has posed significant challenges to Indian law enforcement agencies.
Reactions and Implications
The successful operation in Sonepat has been hailed as a major victory for the Delhi and Haryana police forces. It underscores the importance of coordinated efforts between different law enforcement agencies to tackle organized crime.
The elimination of these gangsters is expected to bring some respite to the residents of Delhi and Haryana, who have been living under the shadow of gang violence. However, the hunt for Himanshu Bhau and other members of his network continues.
