Two other suspects in the case were arrested on Saturday.
Police identified the dead suspect as Raghav alias Rocky, 20.
He went by one name.
The officers said that the encounter began around 11.50pm after an investigating team comprising five officers cornered Rocky in near Karni Singh Shooting Range on MB Road.
Deputy commissioner of Police (southeast) Ravi Kumar Singh said that during investigation it was found that Rocky was hiding near Sangam Vihar, and a police team reached the area around 11.30pm. As soon as he spotted the police team, Rocky tried to flee the spot. To stop the police from pursuing him, he opened fire with a pistol at the police. The DCP said Rocky fired fire rounds at the police team.
"The police personnel asked the suspect to surrender for questioning. But Rocky opened fire at the police with a .32 bore pistol, firing five rounds," said DCP Singh.
The police retaliated and fired five rounds at Rocky. The suspect was hit in the chest and his face. He was taken to ESIC Hospital, Okhla, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, the DCP said. One bullet fired by Rocky hit sub-inspector Adesh Kumar's bullet proof jacket.
He added that the pistol used by Rocky and a two live bullet rounds were recovered from the spot. A total of 10 rounds were fired during the encounter from the two sides, he added.
