The Delhi Police have arrested two more accused, identified as Umang and Vinay, in connection with the shootout in the Rohini Court in the National Capital.
One of the arrested men is a close associate of Sunil alias Tillu Tajpuriya, Gogi’s longtime rival. The investigation has also revealed that the murder plot was allegedly hatched by Tillu from inside Mandoli jail, reported The Indian Express.
"They were nabbed by a team of the New Delhi Range of Special Cell. During investigation, we found that one Naresh Kumar alias Sonu, a sharpshooter from Tillu’s gang, roped in his friend Umang to work for them,” a senior police officer told the newspaper.
On Friday, gunmen disguised as lawyers shot dead gangster Jitender Gogi in a courtroom. The assailants took out their weapons from under their lawyers' robes and opened fire at Gogi. Special forces personnel escorting the gangster then fired back, killing both attackers on the spot.
All four assailants met at a mall and left for the court. It was planned that Umang will wait outside in a car as a backup while the other three would go inside the courtroom to eliminate Gogi. But then Umang fled, sources said.
The police said the arrests are being made on the basis of some 'unusual activities' captured in the CCTV near gate number 4.
