The shootout took place on September 12, 1992, resulting in the deaths of three people. Police sources have revealed that Tribhuvan was present at the scene and fired several rounds from an AK-47 during the attack.
In total, 500 rounds were fired during the shootout, marking the first time an AK-47 was used by gangsters in India. The attack was carried out to kill Arun Gawli gang member Shailesh Haldankar, who was fatally shot. Two police officers assigned to protect Haldankar were also killed in the shootout.
It is worth noting that Haldankar’s murder was in retaliation for the killing of gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s brother-in-law, Ismail Parkar, who had been killed by the Gawli gang just days before the shootout.
