The gangster Jitender Gogi was killed by the attackers who reportedly belonged to rival 'Tillu' gang. News agency IANS has quoted sources as saying that the incident took place in court no 207.
Gogi was arrested in April this year by special cell of the police. He is a known criminal who has been involved in numerous crimes for many years.
He was also involved in killing of a 22-year-old singer in north Indian state of Haryana. She was gunned down in 2017.
On the incident at Rohini court, a Delhi Police spokesperson said a police team took swift action and launched counter firing.
Two of the assailants were in lawyers' attire and attacked the undertrial Gogi. "Both assailants died along with Gogi," the spokesperson said.
"They killed Gogi and the cops shot them dead," sources said adding that the judge was present in the court at the time of the incident. A woman lawyer was also injured during the firing.
Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana also confirmed that the attackers have been neutralised.
