According to the police, a Sector 17 crime unit team received information that three persons were standing near a railway underpass with the intention of robbing passersby at gunpoint. Acting on the information, a team, led by Sub-Inspector Sumit Kumar, conducted a raid. Sensing the arrival of the police team, the three men tried to run away, but when the police team warned them to surrender, one of them fired at the police team.
