New Delhi: The Special Staff of Delhi Police’s Outer North District arrested Rohit alias Haddi, 28, a wanted gangster of the Kala Jatheri gang, from the Bhalaswa Dairy police station area on the night of November 12–13, police said. A semi-automatic pistol and three live cartridges were recovered from him.
Police said the accused was allegedly involved in a firing incident targeting a victim along with his associates, and had flaunted weapons in public, including on social media, to spread fear and establish dominance in the area.
