Faridabad, Aug 22 (PTI): A shooter involved in firing outside YouTuber and Big Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav's house in Gurugram was arrested after a brief encounter near Faridpur village here early Friday, police said.

The accused, Ishant Gandhi alias Ishu, is a resident of Faridabad. He was shot in the leg and has been hospitalised, they said.

According to police, Gandhi was intercepted by a crime branch team from Sector 30, Faridabad, around 4.30 am while he was riding a motorcycle. When signalled to stop, he allegedly tried to flee and opened fire at the team, they said.

In retaliation, police fired at his feet, injuring him, after which he was arrested.

"Gandhi was one of the shooters who fired at YouTuber Elvish Yadav's house in Gurugram on August 17. He is admitted to the hospital and we will interrogate him after he is discharged," said Mukesh Malhotra, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), Faridabad.
