Overview

  • Special Cell teams arrested two suspected sharpshooters in Rohini’s Sector 28 on the night of August 29–30 after a brief exchange of fire that left both suspects injured.
  • Those held in Rohini were identified as Harshdeep, 20, of Ambala Cantonment, and his cousin Naveen Dhiman, 24, of Panipat, who were wanted in a firing tied to an extortion case registered at Chhawla police station.
