New Delhi : An encounter broke out between the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch and wanted criminals in South Delhi’s Chitranjan Park on Friday morning. The accused identified as Sangram suffered bullet injury in his leg and was taken to hospital. Four of his associates, however, managed to flee. A senior police official said that following a tip-off a trap was laid near the Chitranjan Park area to nab the accused and his associates. “Sangram and his associates were asked to surrender but after seeing the policemen they opened fire at the police team.
