A team from the Crime Branch detained a sharpshooter and a member of the Neeraj Bawana gang on Thursday in Delhi’s Dwarka neighbourhood.
Praveen, a resident of Baghpat in the state of Uttar Pradesh, was identified as the accused. In addition, the authorities seized a revolver and two live cartridges from his possession.
He was involved in more than 10 crimes, and in 2020, the court granted him parole in a robbery case. He violated his parole nevertheless and started committing crimes again. He participated actively in the Neeraj Bawana gang. The accused were seeking a chance to exact revenge on Ashok Pardhan and his group on the orders of Neeraj Bawana, who is detained at Tihar Jail.
The Crime Branch recently detained two Ashok Pardhan gang members: Rohit alias Lamba and Gaurav alias Love Sharma alias Sandeep alias Masalewala.
