Gurugram, Nov. 10 -- Unidentified assailants shot dead a gangster on a service lane near Sidhrawali in Bilaspur along the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway on Sunday night, police said on Monday. The victim, Deepak, 35, was a resident of Sidhrawali. Police said the assailants fired 20-25 rounds at his moving Maruti Swift from two directions, leaving him with at least 15 bullet injuries. According to police, Deepak left home between 11.30pm and 11.45pm after celebrating Diwali, following a phone call. His body was found in the driver's seat around 8am on Monday, with his seat belt still fastened. Commuters spotted the car and alerted police. Police said Deepak had led the Ashok Rathi gang in Haryana and Rajasthan for seven years. Rathi was shot dead by rivals at his home in Bhondsi on November 16, 2019. A senior police officer said the attackers opened fire on Deepak's car without giving him time to react. "They also shot out the tyres, apparently to stop him from escaping," he said, adding that the car had at least 10 visible bullet holes. Police said there were no known eyewitnesses to the shooting and suspected that the killing was linked to a gang rivalry. Forensic experts recovered at least 18 empty cartridges from the scene. Deepak faced eight criminal cases in Haryana and Rajasthan, including murder, attempted murder, extortion, illegal arms possession, rioting and assault. Two were murder cases, one registered in Gurugram and the other in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. Police said he was arrested last year with illegal firearms and ammunition and released from jail a few months ago. Inspector Sunil Kumar, station house officer of Bilaspur police station, said an FIR was registered against unidentified suspects under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant provisions of the Arms Act, based on a complaint by Deepak's uncle. "Raids are being conducted to arrest the suspects. The body was yet to be handed over to the family after an autopsy," he added....
