Gulf Today Report

Two gunmen disguised as lawyers killed a most wanted Indian gangster during a shootout in a New Delhi courtroom on Friday, police said.

Jitendra Gogi, who was among the most wanted in New Delhi before his arrest in March last year, was appearing before the Rohini District Court when two people dressed as lawyers opened fire, killing him before being shot by police, the police said.

New Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana said officers in charge of escorting Gogi swiftly acted and killed the assailants.

It is believed that the assailants were believed to be from a rival gang. It wasn't clear how they managed to bring in weapons.

Gogi, who was about 30, had been linked to brutal gang battles, murders, robberies and extortion in Delhi and states across northern India.

Delhi police said after his arrest last year that Gogi was in a particularly bitter battle with a gang leader known as Tillu for control of regions in northern India.

Members of Tillu's gang disguised themselves as lawyers to enter the Delhi court on Friday, media reports said.
