In a significant breakthrough against organized crime, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch arrested a key wanted shooter linked to the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The operation, conducted late last night in the capital’s outskirts, marks another blow to the gang’s operations in North India.
The suspect, identified as a 28-year-old with a history of involvement in multiple high-profile shootings, was tracked through months of intelligence gathering. Sources reveal he was a prime suspect in a string of gang-related violence, including the sensational murder cases that have rocked Delhi-NCR recently.
Acting on a tip-off, a specialized team laid a trap near a hideout in Outer Delhi. When the shooter arrived to collect arms, a brief chase ensued before he was overpowered. Police recovered a sophisticated pistol, ammunition, and digital devices from his possession, which could unlock further leads.
This arrest comes amid heightened security measures following threats from the Bishnoi syndicate. The gang, led by the incarcerated Lawrence Bishnoi, has been implicated in over 50 criminal cases across states. Delhi Police Commissioner commended the team’s vigilance, stating it disrupts the gang’s supply chain significantly.
Interrogation is ongoing, with the accused expected to be produced in court soon. Authorities believe this could lead to more arrests, weakening the gang’s foothold. The operation underscores Delhi Police’s commitment to curbing underworld influence through proactive policing.
