Police in Ghaziabad have arrested two sharpshooters from the Balraj Bhati gang who were involved in two murders in Uttar Pradesh.
A police officer said Pawan and Sanjay, both residents of Bulandshahr, were caught following a tip off. They carried a reward of Rs 5,000 each on their head.
They confessed that they had, along with Balraj Bhati, killed one Gulab in 2014. When they were on bail, they killed one of the witnesses, Sanjay Tyagi, in 2016.
Pawan was found involved in four criminal cases and Sanjay in one criminal case in Bulandshahr. The police recovered two pistols of .315 bore and four live cartridges from their possession.
"The work of our police team is commendable," Superintendent of Police Akash Tomar said.
