The high-quality footage was taken from surrounding CCTV cameras in the area. In the video, the two assailants on a two-wheeler can be seen roaming the street outside waiting for an opportune moment.
In the background, dogs can be heard barking when the pillion rider, in a white shirt, blue jeans and red shoes disembarks and fires three shots at the boundary wall of the house. The assailants then flee from the spot.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE POLICE ENCOUNTER?
According to officials, after the encounter earlier in the evening, the police recovered a Glock and a Zigana pistol along with a large quantity of cartridges from the spot.
Officials said the encounter was carried out in a joint operation by Delhi Police Special Cell and Special Task Forces of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Four personnel of the joint party were injured during the shootout, they said.
Among them were two Delhi Police Crime Branch personnel — sub-inspector Rohit and head constable Kailash — and two others were UP STF officials, Ankur and Jai. They are all undergoing treatment and out of danger.
“The duo had a direct role in the Bareilly firing case, which had sparked security concerns around high-profile personalities. The incident was suspected to be an intimidation tactic linked to extortion,” an officer of Delhi Police Special Cell said.
On September 12, the assailants had fired multiple rounds outside Patani’s residence around 3.45 am following which a case was registered at the Bareilly Kotwali police station. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath directed immediate action in the matter, reiterating the state government’s zero-tolerance policy towards crime.
UP Police Additional Director General (ADG) Law and Order Amitabh Yash said the police examined CCTV footage, gathered intelligence inputs, and matched records from neighbouring states, to identify the shooters. A joint team of the STF’s Noida unit and Delhi Police intercepted the duo in Tronica City, Ghaziabad.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Bareilly senior superintendent of police Anurag Arya said the security outside the Patani residence will remain intact.
Disha’s father Jagdish Patani said the police have informed him that those involved in the firing outside his house were killed in a shootout. “I have no other details of encounter,” he said, adding that he would not like to elaborate on it further. Further investigation is underway to trace other gang members on the run, officials said.
