Anand Khatri (32) was posted in southwest unit of Special Cell in late 2015. The incident took place around 5 AM, when a Special Cell team went to Rohini's Sector 21 following a tip-off that Pandit, who is believed to be a close aide of southwest Delhi-based history-sheeter Ravindra Bholu, was hiding there, police said.
