Gogi was arrested last year on charges of murder, attempted murder, extortion, possession of illegal arms, carjacking and land grabbing and he has been in jail since then but was scheduled for a court trial yesterday where he was killed by his rival gang.

It has been reported that the disguised hitmen were waiting inside the courtroom when Gogi was brought in for questioning on Friday, September 24.

The hitmen "whipped out pistols and opened fire" just minutes after he entered the court, a senior police officer told The Indian Express.

It has been reported that the gangster, who was Delhi's most-wanted mobster, was shot up to six times and rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Officials said that armed police at the scene shot dead the two killers after they suddenly opened fire in the courtroom.

The authority is yet to release the names of the two killers.
