New Delhi: Two alleged terrorists, suspected to be involved in the recent serial blasts in Delhi, were killed in a shootout with Delhi Police on Friday.

Delhi Police Commissioner Y.S. Dadhwal identified the two as members of the Indian Mujahideen, which had claimed responsibility for the September 13 blasts that killed more than 20 people.

The police have launched a massive manhunt to nab two other terrorists who managed to escape during the shootout. All 91 exit points from the metropolis have been sealed and all vehicles heading out of the city were being checked.

Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma of the Special Cell of Delhi Police, died last evening following injuries he sustained while leading the operation against the alleged blast suspects.
