Ramesh Chandra Sharma (42) who took voluntary retirement from the BSF in 2013, lives at Majra Dabas and works as a security officer at a private construction company.
"Ramesh was returning from work last night on his bike when he was intercepted by two men on a scooty in Rohini Sector 24. When he resisted to their robbery attempt one of the duo whipped out a pistol and fired at him. He retaliated using his licensed pistol and the shot hit the robber in the chest," said a police officer.
The accomplice of the killed robber fled the scene leaving behind the scooty. Ramesh called police who rushed the robber to hospital where doctors declared him dead, he said.
A case has been registered and efforts are on to identify the killed robber, he added.
