Why Batla House made headlines earlier?
Batla House is the place where the two alleged terrorists were shot dead in a mid-morning encounter by the police in 2008.
Delhi Police said five suspected terrorists, holed up inside House No L-18, Batala House in Jamia Nagar, near Khalilullah mosque, exchanged heavy fire with the police team that tried to enter the house for investigations.
Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, 41-year-old highly decorated Inspector, was hit by three bullets — in his abdomen during the encounter. He was taken to the nearby Holy Family Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Batla House encounter in a nut shell
In September 2008, nearly 30 people were killed in a series of bomb blasts in the national capital. Acting on a tip off, Delhi raided the terrorists’ hide-out Batla House.
