Mohammed Shahrukh, whose videos and images of waving a gun at Delhi Police personnel in the Jaffrabad-Maujpur area last Monday when violent clashes broke out, has been arrested.

Police said that the pistol, with which Shahrukh fired rounds in the area, is yet to recovered.

Police further said that during interrogation, Shahrukh said he opened-fire in a fit of rage. When shown the video where he is seen brandishing a gun and firing rounds, he didn't respond, they said.

Before this, Shahrukh had a clear record as no criminal case was registered against him in the past. However, there is a case registered against his father.

Shahrukh had been absconding ever since the incident last week in which he threatened a police officer with a gun and even fired 8 rounds as rival groups pelted stones each other on the road.

Now, after a week, Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested Shahrukh from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier it was reported that Delhi Police had managed to arrest Shahrukh within days after he was caught on camera waving a gun at the Delhi Police officer. However, then the police said he was absconding.

Now the police have confirmed that Shahrukh has finally been arrested from Shamli.

Violence ravaged northeast Delhi for 3 days since February 23 and continued till February 25 night. Sporadic incidents were reported even a day later. Over 46 people have been killed while over 200 people have been injured in the violence.

Delhi Police constable Ratan Lal, IB official Ankit Sharma were also among the dead.
