Who Is Guddu? Wanted Criminal In Murder, Rape Cases; Arrested After Delhi Encounter

A wanted criminal was arrested by the North West District Police late night on Thursday after a dramatic shootout in Outer Delhi. The encounter with the suspect, identified as Guddu, took place around 1 am along the Munak Canal near AU Block. A Head Constable’s life was saved by his bulletproof vest during the exchange of fire.

According to police, a team led by Sub-Inspector Sumit Kalkala cornered the suspect and ordered him to surrender. Guddu attempted to flee and, despite clear warnings, drew a country-made pistol, firing at Head Constable Narsi Ram. The bullet struck the officer’s bulletproof vest, leaving him unharmed. In retaliation, Head Constable Satya Narendra first fired a warning shot into the air before shooting Guddu in the right leg, leading to his capture.
