Seven Arrested in Extortion Network Linked to Wanted Gangsters in Delhi-NCR
Police arrested seven individuals, including a Delhi-based hawala operator, linked to wanted gangsters Deepak Nandal and Himanshu Bhau. The gang allegedly extorted businessmen, realtors, and music producers across Haryana, Delhi-NCR, western Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, transferring extortion money abroad. Authorities recovered firearms, ammunition, mobile phones, and currency notes used in hawala transactions. The suspects facilitated reconnaissance, threats, and money transfers while the gang leaders remain absconding abroad. The arrests followed a police tip-off and ongoing investigations into organised crime activities.
