Four members of a criminal gang were arrested when they were out to allegedly murder a rival gang member in Dwarka, the police said on Saturday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse said the accused — Praveen alias Tona (22), Ombeer alias Monu (29), Ajay (21) and Rahul (22) — are all members of Raju Basodiya gang.
Basodiya, who is wanted in Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, has a reward of ₹5 lakh on his arrest.

The police said they received a tip-off on Friday that four members of the gang, carrying firearms, are in Jharoda to commit the murder of a rival group member. A trap was laid and the accused were nabbed, said an officer.
