A member of the notorious 'Thak Thak' gang, which is active across the Delhi-NCR, was arrested following an encounter with the police here today, officials said. The accused, along with an aide, was travelling to Delhi on a scooter when he saw a police barricading near Sector 44.

"It was a routine check. When the two reached close to the police picket, they turned around and started going back. The policemen there got suspicious and chased them," the Circle Officer, Noida City 1st, Avneesh Kumar, said. "The man riding pillion soon opened fire on the policemen chasing them. The police retaliated and one of them got hit by a bullet in the leg," Kumar said.
