The accused —Devesh Kumar (32), Himanshu (32), another Himanshu (25), and Vipin (25) — are residents of North East Delhi.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Prashod Priya Gautam, multiple police patrols were deployed across the area on Tuesday as part of efforts to crack down on street crime ahead of the upcoming polls.
Using a police siren and hooter, the officers observed a car being driven carelessly about 6 p.m. Following a brief pursuit, the police stopped the vehicle and found four drunk individuals inside.
From the car, the police found two baseball bats, an iron rod, a Chinese axe, and a domestically built handgun with 20 live rounds. The accused admitted after questioning that they were motivated by a movie to buy the Chinese axe. Himanshu's birthday was being celebrated.
When questioned why they were using a police siren, they said it would enable them to escape more swiftly since when people hear a siren, they assume a government official's vehicle is approaching.
There was also a court sticker on the vehicle. The authorities claim that Devesh operates a gym and that his friends are employed in the private sector.
