A Class XI student, who was a promising javelin thrower, was among the four alleged shooters of the overseas-operated Deepak Nandal gang killed during a fierce gun battle with the Gurugram Police Crime Branch in upscale Sushant Lok Phase-2 late Thursday evening.The deceased minor has been identified by police sources as Aryan, a resident of Baland (Baloth) village in Rohtak. Investigators revealed that Aryan was actively pursuing sports as a javelin player and worked as a local bike mechanic before recently being drawn into the criminal syndicate. In a striking revelation, two other deceased shooters, identified as Nitin and Ankit, belonged to the same village in Rohtak, pointing to a localised recruitment web within the module.The fourth deceased accomplice was identified as a resident of Haryana’s Fatehabad district. The lone surviving shooter, currently hospitalised under heavy police custody, has been identified as Shivam, a resident of bissar village in the Mewat region.Sources claim the heavily armed five-member module arrived at the spot in a rented black Scorpio SUV and immediately launched an unprovoked assault. The criminals spray-fired nearly two dozen rounds directly at the residence of a prominent local businessman over an ongoing multi-crore extortion demand.The businessman, along with his wife and a relative, was trapped inside the house as bullets riddled the property. The police are yet to officially confirm the chain of events.A Crime Branch team, already tracking the suspicious SUV following a control room tip-off, rushed to the scene while the firing was actively under way and quickly cordoned off the perimeter. When cornered and ordered to surrender, the shooters turned their automatic weapons toward the police party in a desperate bid to break the cordon, triggering a massive, close-range crossfire. Law enforcement sources confirmed that approximately 65 rounds were exchanged from both sides during the high-intensity encounter.All five gang members sustained critical gunshot wounds in retaliation and were rushed to a nearby hospital, where four were pronounced dead on arrival and Shivam remains under intensive care. Three Crime Branch personnel also suffered bullet injuries during the operation and are currently stable under medical supervision. Investigators have recovered five automatic pistols from the scene, including three sophisticated foreign-made weapons.The Gurugram police are expected to officially address the media and divulge further details regarding the gang’s operational network and weapon sourcing in a while.
