An encounter broke out in the wee hours of Thursday between police and a criminal of the Neeraj Bhawania gang in New Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan area near Millennium depot.
After receiving information via their sources that criminal Saddam Hussein would be crossing the area, the police came into action and the encounter took place around 5.15 am.
“Through our sources, we got to know that Hussein would be passing by on a bike,” the police official said.
“During the encounter, Hussein sustained a bullet injury on his leg and was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital. Even a police official sustained a bullet injury during the encounter but survived as he was wearing a bullet-proof jacket,” he added.
Hussein has been earlier charged with more than a dozen criminal cases and has also been sentenced to five years in jail. He is one of the leading members of the Neeraj Bhawania gang.
