Delhi Police has achieved a major breakthrough by arresting Akash alias Bittu, the main shooter of the notorious Tillu Tajpuriya gang. He was wanted for the daylight murder of 30-year-old Ravi Bhardwaj in Bawana. The arrest was made through a joint operation with the Bihar Police in Begusarai, where the accused had been hiding since the incident on March 19. Two other associates involved in the crime were also apprehended following a police shootout in Rohini.

Arrest of the Main Accused and Police Action

The main shooter, 20-year-old Akash alias Bittu, also known as Khuddi, is a resident of Nangal Thakran in Delhi. After the shooting incident in Bawana, he fled to Bihar to escape the law.
