The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon.
Jeeva, a dreaded shooter, received multiple injuries in the shootout and then succumbed to injuries.
The accused miscreant has been overpowered and handed over to the police.
Sanjeev Maheshwari Jeeva was a co-accused in BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai murder, in which Mukhtar Ansari is also an accused.
