Delhi Police arrests international kick-boxing player involved in luxury car showroom firing incident.
The Delhi Police has nabbed an international kick-boxing player in connection with the firing at a high-end luxury car showroom in the Naraina area last month, an officer said on Thursday (October 3, 2024).
Deepak, 26, won international junior championship gold for three continuous years, he said.
"He got a job in the Indian Army in sports quota but later quit it. He is an accredited Wushu coach and runs a kick-boxing coaching centre in Rohtak city in Haryana," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Amit Goel said.
Police early Thursday (October 3, 2024) also nabbed 27-year-old Armaan Khan, another man involved in the firing, from northwest Delhi's Majra Dabas after a shootout.
On September 27, three people opened fire at a luxury car showroom in an extortion bid.
One of them pointed his pistol at the head of the showroom manager, while the other two went on a shooting rampage, hitting several cars and TV screens inside the shop. Deepak, the fourth man, kept a vigil outside the showroom, hiding his face.
Police scoured through the CCTV footage and identified Deepak. He was arrested from Rohtak City after a brief scuffle.
