Washington/IBNS: Drug smuggler Sunil Yadav, who is wanted in the Indian state of Rajasthan, has been killed in a shootout at Stockton city of California in the United States, media reports said.

Gangster Rohit Godara, who is a part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has claimed responsibility for the killing.

"He had worked with Punjab police to get our brother Ankit Bhadu killed in an encounter. We have avenged him," Godara said in a statement as quoted by NDTV.

"In the US, he was sharing information about our brothers," the gangster added.

Sunil, whose name had emerged in connection with a drug consignment worth Rs. 300 crore earlier, fled to the US a couple of years ago using a fake passport with name Rahul.

The investigation into his murder is still on.
