On May 23, 2023, Saurabh, a suspect in the double murder of a mother and son, was injured during a police encounter in Govindpuri, New Delhi. The incident unfolded when the South-East District’s Anti-Narcotics Team attempted to apprehend him while he was consuming smack in Ghati Park. Upon noticing the police, Saurabh allegedly opened fire, shooting four rounds at the officers. In response, the police returned fire in self-defense, injuring him in the leg. Following the encounter, he was promptly arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. The police have initiated a probe into the incident, and further details are pending. This encounter adds to a series of police operations in the capital, including a previous incident on May 10, where two suspected criminals were also injured during an encounter with the Delhi Police Central District team. The ongoing investigations aim to address the rising concerns over crime and drug-related activities in the region.
