The suspects, Marfat alias Maru, Phool Babu Sheikh, and Shrikul Sheikh, were all injured, with Marfat and Phool suffering bullet injuries to their legs and the policeman sustaining an injury to his arm. Shrikul was arrested on the spot after a chase, while Marfat and Phool will be formally arrested once they are medically cleared. The crime branch team received information about three armed men planning to commit a robbery and intercepted them on the road from Nangli Umarpur to Sector 62 at 11pm. After opening fire on the police team, the suspects fled and were intercepted again after a kilometre, leading to the shootout. The suspects fired six rounds, while the police returned fire with three shots. Police recovered 136 grams of MDMA, a pistol, a homemade firearm, an empty cartridge, and a motorcycle from the suspects. The three were wanted in various drug smuggling cases, with Marfat having four criminal cases registered against him, Phool having two cases, and Shrikul having one drug smuggling case.",
