Two men posing as lawyers shot dead a notorious gangster inside a courtroom in India’s capital, Delhi.
They opened fire at Jitender Maan Gogi inside the courtroom in Rohini, where a case was being heard against him.
Officials say police returned fire, killing the two men. Police suspect a rival gang planned the attack.
Gogi was on Delhi police’s most-wanted list and he was also accused in dozens of cases – including murder, kidnapping and fraud in other states.
The incident has raised questions over the security of Delhi’s courts.
A senior politician said that the incident showed a serious lapse in security planning.
Gogi was arrested in Delhi in March last year on charges of murder and extortion. END.
