On Sunday, Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana visited the Rohini court, where top gangster Jitender Singh Mann, alias Gogi, was shot dead by two rival gang members before being shot dead by police.

Gogi was on the most-wanted list of the Delhi Police, and he was also a suspect in dozens of other states, including murder, kidnapping, and fraud. His gang was also involved in illegal gun possession, carjacking, and land grabbing.
The two assailants were shot dead by three commandos from the 3rd Battalion of the Delhi Armed Police after the incident caused chaos and panic in the courtroom where the judge had begun proceedings.
According to sources, the Commissioner has recommended that the three commandos – two constables and an Assistant Sub-Inspector – be promoted out of turn.
