The Delhi Police has nabbed an international kick-boxing player in connection with the firing at a high-end luxury car showroom in the Naraina area last month, an officer said on Thursday.
Deepak, 26, won international junior championship gold for three continuous years, he said.
“He got a job in the Indian Army in sports quota but later quit it. He is an accredited Wushu coach and runs a kick-boxing coaching centre in Rohtak city in Haryana,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Amit Goel said.
Police early Thursday also nabbed 27-year-old Armaan Khan, another man involved in the firing, from northwest Delhi’s Majra Dabas after a shootout.
On September 27, three people opened fire at a luxury car showroom in an extortion bid.
One of them pointed his pistol at the head of the showroom manager, while the other two went on a shooting rampage, hitting several cars and TV screens inside the shop. Deepak, the fourth man, kept a vigil outside the showroom, hiding his face.
Police scoured through the CCTV footage and identified Deepak. He was arrested from Rohtak City after a brief scuffle.
