Gurugram/New Delhi, July 6 -- Two alleged members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, wanted for the June 10 murder of a gym owner in Haryana's Hansi, were killed in an encounter during a joint operation by the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Haryana Police Special Task Force (STF) in Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, early on Sunday, officials said. Police identified the two men as Parvesh, 25, and Himanshu, 20, both residents of Hisar and carrying rewards of Rs.1 lakh each. Investigators said the duo were allegedly on their way to kill a real estate developer in Bahadurgarh on the instructions of a close associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The two were wanted for the murder of 25-year-old gym owner Kapil Redhu in Hansi on June 10. Redhu was shot dead at close range by motorcycle-borne assailants. Investigators, who asked not to be identified, said the killing stemmed from gang rivalry, alleging that Redhu had "supported" Bishnoi's rival gang and had allowed its members to hold meetings at his gym. Within hours of the murder, fugitive gangster Harry Boxer had claimed responsibility in a social media post, police said. Acting on specific intelligence that the suspects were waiting near Balaur on the Rohtak-Delhi Bypass Road to receive a vehicle, teams from the two police forces launched a joint operation. Haryana STF superintendent of police Vikrant Bhushan said the suspects were asked to surrender after being surrounded but instead opened fire on the police. htc...
