DELHI SHOOTING INCIDENTS

NEW DELHI, Sep 29: Two alleged sharpshooters of the Gogi gang run by jailed gangsters Deepak Boxer and Ankesh Lakra have been arrested for a firing incident outside a sweet shop in Nangloi in west Delhi related to an extortion bid, an official said on Sunday.
Three sensational incidents of firing occurred in the capital on Saturday — at a car showroom in Naraina in west Delhi, a hotel in southwest Delhi and the sweet shop, they said, adding that all are linked to extortion activities by gangsters.
“Our team has arrested Hari Om (27), a resident of Rohini, and Jatin (21), of Mundka. Both the accused fired gunshots at the sweet shop to extort money in the name of jailed gangsters Deepak Boxer and Ankesh Lakra of the Gogi Gang,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pratiksha Godara said.
The two armed men on a motorcycle had threatened the shop owner with extortion slips that had photographs of gangsters Gogi and Kuldeep Fajja on one side and the names of jailed gangsters Deepak Boxer and Ankesh Lakra and Vishal on the other side.
“An FIR was registered and further investigation was taken up.” Godara told mediapersons here.
“The team identified the suspects as Hari Om and Jatin.”
“Despite conducting raids in Delhi and surrounding districts, the suspects could not be located.”
“On Sunday, on the basis of a tip-off that the suspects would come to Rohini, a raiding team was formed and both the criminals were apprehended with illegal weapons and a motorcycle,” DCP Godara said.
The police said that they recovered a semi-automatic pistol that the criminals had used to open fire at the sweet shop, besides a countrymade pistol and nine live bullets.
“The accused fired a total of four rounds and fled from the spot.”
She added, “A motorcycle used in the crime was also recovered from the possession of the accused. Its ownership is being verified,” she said.
According to the police, during interrogation, it was found that the accused Jatin is associated with gangster Ankesh Lakra and both hail from Mundka village. (PTI)
