New Delhi, Aug. 27 -- After Haryanvi singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria escaped a gun attack unhurt in July this year, a joint team of Gurugram Police and Special Task Force (STF) on Tuesday night foiled a plot to kill him by arresting five sharpshooters after a brief encounter.

According to the police, the incident took place around midnight on Tuesday on Pataudi Road in Gurugram when four of the attackers sustained gunshot wounds in the encounter.

Initial investigation revealed that the five sharpshooters linked to gangsters Rohit Sardhaniya and Deepak Nandal were plotting to kill Fazilpuria. They were also reportedly involved in the killing of Fazilpuria's financier Rohit Shokeen last month, said the Gurugram Police.
