Delhi Police arrested Sumit Rana, a 38-year-old accused in the July 2025 murder of national boxing champion Vikas Bhinda. Rana, identified as the main planner and member of the Sonu gang, evaded arrest for over eight months by frequently changing hideouts across states. The attack, involving multiple gang members, was reportedly motivated by an old rivalry and aimed to instill fear for extortion. Other accused, including gang leader Vikas Dahiya, were arrested earlier this year.
