Two Bishnoi gang members held for Capital gym shooting
New Delhi, June 18 -- Six days after motorcycle-borne masked men allegedly opened fire at a gym in west Delhi's Pushkar Enclave near Paschim Vihar, two suspects were arrested from Haryana's Bahadurgarh, Delhi Police said on Wednesday.
"We have arrested Arman and Tushar alias Tasu, 21, both residents of Haryana's Sonepat district, from Bahadurgarh on Monday.
