Delhi | Notorious Gangster Manoj Captured After Fake Social Media Profile Sting

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police successfully apprehended a notorious gangster, Manoj, after an officer used a fake social media profile posing as a Mumbai-based model to lure him. This strategic operation led to Manoj’s arrest in South Delhi, where he had agreed to meet the officer.

Manoj, a life convict and repeat parole violator, is a member of the Gogi gang and a close associate of Deepak. He was wanted in numerous cases across Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan, including murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (Crime) Aditya Gautam confirmed this information in a statement.

Deepak, another key figure in the criminal world, was involved in the murder of rival gangster Tillu Tajpuria inside Tihar Jail.

The Delhi Police’s crime branch devised a digital operation to capture Manoj after discovering his social media activity. Head constables Dinesh and Sukhbir created a fake social media profile, posing as a glamorous Mumbai-based actress. After gaining Manoj’s trust through weeks of chatting, they convinced him to meet in the Safdarjung Enclave area of South Delhi.

Upon Manoj’s arrival, the waiting police team arrested him and found two weapons and eight live cartridges in his possession. He was promptly taken into custody.

Originally from Mahendergarh in Haryana, Manoj moved to Delhi’s Nangloi area with his family in the 1990s. His criminal activities began in 2005 when he and his friend Chamanlal kidnapped and murdered a businessman named Rahul over a ransom dispute. Convicted in 2013, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

While in Tihar Jail, Manoj became associated with key members of the Gogi gang, such as Vicky Ramzanpur, and played a significant role in the gang’s criminal operations.

The officer said: “In 2014, Manoj was granted a one-month parole, but he made the decision to not return and instead rejoined the notorious Gogi gang. He proceeded to commit a series of crimes, including murder in Shahbad Dairy, armed carjackings in Narela, Begumpur, and Alipur, as well as extortion operations in Bawana and other areas.”

After being arrested again in 2015, Manoj spent several years behind bars but continued to orchestrate criminal activities. In June 2023, he was granted a three-week parole, during which he successfully managed to escape once more, he added.

Following his escape, he carried out a string of violent robberies in Rajasthan before eventually being captured. Despite being incarcerated in Bilada, Rajasthan, Manoj managed to deceive authorities about his criminal history and was released in December 2024.

DDA’s Demolition Dreams Foiled: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Saves Mayur Vihar Temple

NEW DELHI: In the early hours of Thursday, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) arrived in Mayur Vihar, Delhi with the intention of demolishing some temples. They were accompanied by a large number of security forces, but the local residents began protesting, causing the DDA team to halt their demolition plans. The situation eventually escalated to the Supreme Court, which heard the petition on Thursday morning and instructed the petitioners to seek relief from the Delhi High Court.

MLA Ravinder Negi from Patparganj spilled the beans that the DDA’s demolition party got shut down after Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stepped in. He even posted some pics on social media to show how the High Court’s orders to knock down temples in Mayur Vihar Phase 2 were being challenged. The DDA and the cops tried to do their thing, but the locals weren’t having it. They stood their ground from 3 am onwards to protect their temple.

The MLA mentioned that after chatting with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, LG VK Saxena, and the MP, they decided to call off the demolition and send the police packing. Thanks to the Chief Minister’s quick action, the temple was saved. The temple means a lot to the community, and they’re not about to let it go without a fight.

Apparently, the DDA team showed up to knock down some ancient temples that were encroaching on the green belt, as ordered by the High Court. They gave notices saying the temples were in the wrong spot. But the locals weren’t having it and put up a fight.

The Supreme Court told the petitioner to take their case to the Delhi High Court. The petition, filed by lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain, pointed out that the officials had posted a notice the night before, saying the temples were getting demolished on March 20, 2025, at 4 am.

The petition also mentioned that the temples didn’t get a fair chance to defend themselves before the demolition. No DDA official or religious committee member gave them a

The petition brought attention to the fact that the temples were not given a chance to have a hearing with any DDA official or religious committee. It was mentioned in the petition that these temples have been around for 35 years. What’s interesting is that the DDA had allowed the Kali Bari Committee to hold Durga Puja in front of the temple on the same land. This makes you wonder about how fair and transparent the decision-making process is when it comes to the temples’ rights and usage.

Delhi | Akbar Road Signboard Defaced, Slogans Raised

NEW DELHI: Unknown miscreants in Delhi have once again attempted to disrupt the peace by defacing a signboard on Akbar Road. The mischievous individuals, wearing sashes on their shoulders, vandalized the signboard by smearing black paint over the white-colored letters spelling out “Akbar Road.” This incident occurred late at night where the culprits also raised slogans while holding posters of Maharana Pratap.

This is not an isolated event, as similar incidents have occurred in Delhi in the past. Just last month, after watching the film “Chhava,” some troublemakers defaced signboards on Akbar Road and Humayun Road by smearing black ink and pasting posters of Chhatrapati Shivaji on them.

The individuals responsible for this act are reportedly associated with Hindu organizations and have a history of engaging in such disruptive behavior. Despite their repeated actions of removing, tearing, and defacing posters in various locations across Delhi, no action has been taken against them in this particular case. However, the police have since cleaned the signboard to restore its original state.
