Faridabad Crime Branch has arrested an accused named Ishant alias Ishu Gandhi in an encounter, who allegedly fired outside the residence of Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav in Gurugram on August 17.

The accused was taken to the hospital after being shot in the leg.
The accused fired more than half a dozen rounds from an automatic pistol at the police party during the encounter, according to Faridabad Police PRO.

Gangsters Neeraj Faridpur and Bhau Ritolia, who are purportedly connected to the Himanshu Bhau gang, have previously taken the responsibility for the gunfire outside Elvish’s Gurgaon home.
They alleged in a social media post that Elvish had been targeted for promoting a betting app, which they accused of “destroying many households.”

Elvish, who stays on the upper floors, was not at home during the attack. The attack reportedly left his family shaken. CCTV footage captured the incident, with three armed individuals involved, two of whom were clearly visible.

The police reports revealed that the bullets struck the ground and the first floors of the building.
