Two members of the rival Tillu Tajpur gang and Jitender Gogi gang were arrested on Thursday, the police said adding that the accused are involved in several murder cases across Delhi.
The alleged member of Gogi gang, Deepak alias Pradeep Bajana (29) resident of Haryana, and Sachin alias Ramu (30), allegedly a member of Tillu gang have been arrested by Crime Branch, the police said.
Tip-off
Following a tip-off stating that Deepak would come to Alipur village, a trap was laid, the police said. A loaded revolver has been recovered from his possession, they added.
“After completing school, he joined the Gogi gang and was once arrested in 2013. In 2016, he and his associates successfully planned the escape of Jitender Gogi from police custody after attacking officers. Gogi has been on the run ever since,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Ram Gopal Naik.
Sachin was arrested from Rohini sector 3 after the police received a tip-off on his arrival. A sophisticated pistol and three live cartridges were recovered from his possession, the police said.
“He had met Tillu Tajpur in Tihar jail and joined his gang. In August 2017, he was released and met one Amit alias Dabang, an active member of the gang,” said DCP (Crime Branch) Joy Tirkey.
The police said that Amit is suspected to be involved in the recent murder of Monu Maan alias Nepali, alleged member of Gogi gang, who was shot dead in front of Pitampura power house on March 16.
