Just In: Mumbai police detain Gurgaon police's Sub Inspector Pradyuman Yadav in 'fake' encounter case of gangster Sandeep Gadoli.

Reports said Gadoli, who was shot dead by the Gurgaon police in Mumbai in February, was lying in a pool of blood for nearly 20 minutes, calling for help, while a team of six Gurgaon cops was fabricating evidence to show that there was an exchange of fire

Acoording to a Times of India report -- citing an officer privy to the investigation -- a camera outside the Gurgaon criminal's room 107 on the ground floor of Hotel Airport Metro has nailed the Gurgaon police's lies.

At 11.08am on February 7, Gadoli, in a yellow Tshirt, and jeans, is seen in a scuffle with three to four Gurgaon cops. Sub-inspector Pradhuman Yadav from the Gurgaon crime branch, who was leading six policemen, is seen holding a revolver which Gadoli tries to snatch. Two other cops are seen trying to overpower Gadoli.

Within seconds, Yadav gets hold of the revolver and fires at Gadoli from behind. Immediately, Yadav's assistants too fire two rounds, which is not seen in the footage but the sound is heard. Gadoli is then seen falling on the ground, profusely bleeding. Three cops run into Gadoli's room, and there are another four rounds of gunshots heard, which are believed to have been fired as a cover-up.
