The suspects were identified as Rakesh, Hunny, Rishu, and Dilshad, each with a history of serious criminal activities, including attempted murder, robbery, and violations of the Arms Act, according to DCP Chauhan.
During rigorous interrogation, both Rakesh and Hunny admitted to their roles as shooters and associates of the Prince Teotia Gang. Rakesh disclosed that he had been in judicial custody since 2019 and was only granted bail earlier this year. Following his release, he reconnected with his three accomplices, motivated by a desire for revenge against a rival gang member who had assaulted him while incarcerated. This vendetta led them to plot against their adversaries, who reside in Ambedkar Nagar and Malviya Nagar.
Throughout the investigation, police seized a cache of weapons, including three pistols, six live cartridges, and a country-made firearm, along with two additional live cartridges and the vehicle used by the suspects, as stated by DCP Chauhan.
