Delhi Police arrests 4 sharp shooters of Gogi gang

In a major crackdown, the special cell of Delhi Police has arrested four sharp-shooters of the gangster Gogi gang and recovered arms and ammunition from them, an official said here on Sunday.

“The four sharp-shooters, who have been arrested, were planning a spate of murders,” the official said.

Earlier, most wanted gangster Jitender Mann alias ‘Gogi’ was killed along with two other assailants in a shoot-out at Delhi’s Rohini Court on September 24.

The incident seemed taken straight from a Bollywood potboiler as Gogi was shot dead in a courtroom by two assailants from the rival ‘Tilu Tajpuriya’ gang, who were dressed in lawyers’ garb. The assailants opened fire at Gogi inside the courtroom where a case was being heard against him.

Gogi was on Delhi police’s most-wanted list and he was also an accused in dozens of cases – including murder, kidnapping, and fraud – in other states. His gang was also involved in crimes such as possession of illegal arms, carjacking, and land grabbing.

The two assailants were subsequently shot dead by the police as the incident led to chaos and panic in the courtroom where the judge had commenced proceedings. A woman lawyer was reportedly injured in the firing.

The police personnel guarding Gogi immediately retaliated and gunned down the attackers. “There was an exchange of at least 30-35 rounds of fire between the cops and the attackers,” an eyewitness had told IANS.

A day later, on Saturday, September 25, the police arrested two persons, identified as Umang Yadav (22) and Vinay Mota (19), in connection with the Court shootout.

Of the two arrested, Yadav had revealed that he worked for Tillu Tajpuriya, currently lodged at the Mandoli jail, for the last two years.

RPG Attack On Punjab Police Intelligence Headquarters In Mohali Was To Assassinate Sidhu Moosewala, Say Sources

New Delhi, September 30: An RPG that targeted the Punjab Police’s Intelligence Headquarters in Mohali last year was actually intended for singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in May 2022, top sources in the Delhi Police revealed. The sources said the perpetrators altered their plan, fearing a higher casualty count if the attack occurred during a gathering or meeting.

The RPG was supplied by Khalistani terrorist Harwinder Singh Sandhu

“The RPG was supplied by Khalistani terrorist Harwinder Singh Sandhu, alias Rinda and it was originally meant to be used to assassinate Sidhu Moosewala when he was at a public rally or event,”.

However, a shift in plans occurred, and the alleged gangsters and terrorists opted to target the Mohali headquarters instead in October 2022. This revelation was brought to light during an interrogation with incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The RPG was illicitly smuggled into India through the Pakistan border

According to the police sources, the RPG was illicitly smuggled into India through the Pakistan border, implicating the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Rinda had reportedly enlisted members of Bishnoi’s gang to carry out the operation.

Further investigation uncovered that Canada-based fugitive terrorist Lakhbir Singh Landa had collaborated with Rinda, sharing manpower, logistics, and resources and he was also the second in command.

Rinda had previously been linked to a grenade attack

Rinda had previously been linked to a grenade attack at the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) office in Nawanshahr, Punjab, as well as the arrest of four suspected terrorists with ties to Pakistan in Haryana’s Karnal earlier in the same year.

The RPG attack in Mohali on May 9, 2022, was revealed as a conspiracy orchestrated by the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), with the support of the ISI and local gangsters.

The attackers were apprehended by the Delhi Police

The attackers, identified as Deepak from Surakhpur village in Haryana and a juvenile accomplice, were apprehended by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police five months after the incident. It was established that Rinda masterminded the attack.

Punjab Police successfully apprehended the main accused, Charat Singh, a key operative and associate of Lakhbir Singh Landa, in a joint operation with central agencies and the ATS in Maharashtra. Landa, originally from Tarn Taran district in Punjab, had relocated to Canada in 2017 due to police pressure.
