Also a cop-killer, Surender Malik alias Neetu Dabodia had been booked in over 50 cases of extortion, robbery, abduction and murder and carried a reward of Rs 7 lakh. He had also been booked under MCOCA.
Two of his close aides, Alok Gupta and Deepak, were also killed on Thursday. Two cops involved in the operation had a narrow escape after bullets fired by the criminals hit their bulletproof jackets, senior police sources said.
Malik, 29, had unleashed a reign of terror among businessmen. Whenever he killed a trader for not giving protection money, it was a signal for other businessmen to meet him and gift him with a minimum of Rs 15 lakh as 'protection tax'. Hence the expression '15 lakh ka namaskar'.
The lawbreaker had escaped police custody in Dwarka in April last year. The special cell of Delhi police was in hot pursuit of Malik after he had shot a head constable, Ram Kishan, fatally during a picket checking in November last year. "The police was hot on his heels for the past one year," said special commissioner of police (special cell) S N Shrivastava. He had narrowly escaped the police dragnet after being shot in his hand in Punjab this February.
The allegations levelled by Malik's mother about his son being trapped and killed will be looked into, said an officer. The family of head constable Ram Kishan expressed their satisfaction on hearing the news. "We have got justice today," his son told TOI on Friday evening.
The police was tipped off that Malik would come to a petrol pump in the area to finalise an abduction plan. Late evening the special cell sleuths laid a trap on the C5 link road after learning about his movement around the hotel in the area.
DCP Sanjeev Yadav led a special team, comprising ACP Manishi Chandra and inspectors Hriday Bhushan, Lalit Mohan Negi and Ramesh Lamba. Around 10.30pm, the cops spotted a white colour i-20 (DL 4C AQ 3716) and signalled it to stop. When the car slowed down, the team approached it to verify the identity of its occupants. But the car suddenly sped away even as the cops were fired at. The cops chased the car in a Scorpio and blocked its way 200 metres ahead of the hotel.
"The i-20 car, however, slammed into the Scorpio. The armed occupants came out firing. The team took cover and retaliated. After a brief exchange of fire, the trio was found lying on the road," said DCP Sanjeev Yadav.
Yadav immediately called the police control room at 10.48pm. A PCR van rushed to the spot and the badly injured criminals were brought to AIIMS Trauma Centre where they were declared brought dead. Sixteen cartridges were recovered from Malik's pockets in the hospital.
On hearing the news, top police officers rushed to the spot. The entire C5 link road stretch was cordoned off. The consequent diversion triggered traffic chaos on the stretch. Forensic teams were called in and a magistrate was also informed. The shootout also blocked the entry to the hotel but an arrangement was made to ferry the guests and staff after verification.
The cops have not yet disclosed the number of bullets fired in the shootout. Gupta, who comes from Kannauj in UP, had five cases of extortion and abduction against him. The third person was identified on Friday morning as Deepak. Police said he had brorrowed the i-20 car from his friend, Mohan.
Police said an SAF carbine, with a magazine and seven cartridges, has been recovered from the car apart from a revolver, two pistols and 48 cartridges. A medical board will be formed by the government with LG's directions to conduct the postmortems and furnish its reports.
Apart from a magisterial inquiry, the south district police has also begun an inquiry into the shootout and will proceed with recording the statements of the team members. A case of attacking public servants and obstructing them in performing their duty has been registered at Vasant Kunj police station under sections 186 and 353 of Indian Penal Code.
