Sonipat (Haryana) [India], July 12 (HBTV): The Delhi Police Crime Branch and the Haryana Special Task Force have gunned down three members associated with the Himanshu Bhau gang in an encounter in the Kharkhoda area of Sonipat in Haryana on Friday.  

A Delhi policeman was injured during the encounter but is safe, the police said. 

The three shooters have been identified as one Ashish alias Lalu, a Sunny Kharar, and one Vicky Ridhana. 

Ashish and Vicky were alleged involved in the Burger King shootout. On June 18, three people came on a motorbike at the Burger King outlet on Najafgarh Road at Rajouri Garden and killed one Aman Joon who came to meet his girlfriend at 9:30 pm.  

In a social media post, gangster Himanshu Bhau claimed responsibility for the shooting as revenge for the killing one of his close associates "Shakti Dada."    

The three criminals were wanted by the Haryana Police and Delhi Police. All the three carried a reward of INR one lakh each as announced by the Haryana Police.  

Ashish is wanted in 13 cases and is allegedly involved in approximately 18 cases of murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, and petrol pump robbery, the police said. 

Sunny is allegedly involved in several cases of murder, attempt to murder, and firing. 

Notably, Interpol has also issued a red-corner notice against Himanshu Bhau.  

Earlier in May, Delhi Police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act against the Himanshu Bhau gang for their continuous involvement in unlawful activities.  

This came weeks after the gang fired at the Fusion car showroom in Delhi. The gang also demanded a ransom of INR five crore from the owner of the car showroom.
