Gunfire, panic, trembling voices: Viral videos capture Gurgaon encounter from balconies

GURGAON: Videos recorded by residents from their balconies capture the sound of relentless gunfire and anxious voices as a late-night encounter unfolded in Gurgaon's upscale Sushant Lok colony.The footage shows people peering from windows as police exchanged fire with five alleged hired hitmen, who investigators say had been sent to a 36-year-old businessman's home by UK-based gangster Deepak Nandal over an alleged Rs 10 crore extortion demand.As the shooting intensified, police vehicles with flashing blue beacons sealed off the lane with barricades. Residents say they initially mistook the gunshots for firecrackers before realising an armed confrontation was unfolding outside their homes."The encounter happened right behind our society, near the rear gate. Our first priority was the safety of residents," said Rajeev Sinha, president of the Essel Tower Residents' Welfare Association.
