2 suspected ‘gangsters’ killed in encounter outside Hyderabad
NEW DELHI: Two suspected gangsters, including a renegade Maoist, Mohammad Nayeemuddin, have been killed in an encounter in Shadnagar, 50 kilometres from Hyderabad, in Telengana.
The identity of the other suspect is still now known. Sources told that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) isn’t involved, so it’s likely the encounter is with a group of gangsters rather than terrorists, ISIS or otherwise.
Heavy security has been deployed in Shadnagar’s Millennium Township area and one house has been surrounded by police. Late on Sunday night, a special team of the Telangana State police surrounded a house located in the Millennium Township area of Shadnagar, after receiving an alert about the movement of Nayeemuddin.
On Monday morning, a gunman associated with Nayeemuddin opened fire on the police and in the resulting encounter, Nayeemuddin was gunned down, Telangana DGP Anurag Sharma said.
