New Delhi: People near Dwarka Mor metro station on Sunday afternoon thought they were watching the shooting of some action film until two people were shot down in broad daylight. What was really happening was a deadly gang war.

According to the police, armed assailants intercepted a white Ritz car and fired more than a dozen rounds and killed a man. Parveen Gehlot, who was in the Ritz, died at the spot. Soon a PCR, which was standing near the spot, got alerted by the gunshots and opened fire at the armed assailants, killing one. However, others fled the scene.
