Four suspected gang members were killed and three Gurugram Police Crime Branch officers were injured in a gunfight with armed criminals in Sushant Lok Phase-2 on Wednesday. According to Gurugram Police Commissioner, the men were linked to gangster Deepak Nandal, who is believed to be operating from outside India. Police said they recovered five automatic firearms from the suspects after the encounter.
The exchange of fire began after the accused allegedly shot at the house of a well-known businessman in the Sushant Lok area and tried to escape. Police said the businessman had been receiving repeated extortion threats from the foreign-based gangster before the attack.
“When police reached the spot, the accused started firing at the businessman’s house with sophisticated weapons,” an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sadar, Dharambir Singh told reporters at the scene. “On being challenged, they also fired at the police. In self-defence, police retaliated.”

Gurugram Police said Crime Branch teams were alerted through the police control room about a group of armed men travelling in a suspicious Scorpio SUV. By the time officers reached Sushant Lok, the suspects had already started firing at a businessman’s house with automatic weapons.
Police said the officers asked the accused to surrender, but they instead fired at the Crime Branch team and tried to flee. The police then returned fire to stop and arrest them. During the gunfight, all five suspects were shot.
The injured men were taken to a private super-speciality hospital, where doctors declared four of them dead. The fifth suspect is undergoing treatment.
Three Crime Branch officers were also hit by bullets during the encounter and suffered injuries.
