A swift police response in Rewari culminated in the neutralization and arrest of two high-value targets during a nocturnal face-off. Carrying head rewards totaling Rs 1 lakh, the duo’s capture came after they initiated hostilities against pursuing lawmen on a rural route.
Details emerged that the incident stemmed from surveillance on a black SUV linked to recent ATM break-ins. Around 11:30 PM near Khori Nagar, officers signaled a halt, met instead with gunfire from occupants Deepak and Ravi, history-sheeters with over a dozen cases.
The high-speed chase wound through sugarcane fields before ending in a hail of bullets. Police fired in self-defense, wounding the assailants in their thighs. Paramedics arrived promptly, airlifting them to Rohtak PGIMS for advanced care while evidence collection proceeded.
Seized items included sophisticated firearms, burglary tools, and communication devices suggesting broader involvement. Rewari authorities confirmed the men’s role in a Rs 10-crore robbery spree across North India.
In a press briefing, senior officials lauded the constables’ bravery, announcing gallantry citations. Residents of Rewari, long troubled by nocturnal threats, welcomed the news as a pivotal win for community policing. Investigations continue, with sketches of potential aides circulating for public tips.
