New Delhi [India], October 18 (HBTV): Delhi Police raided several notorious gang hideouts across Delhi-NCR and Haryana on Thursday.
According to Delhi Police officials, 40 teams from the Outer North District Police were deployed to conduct coordinated raids targeting several gangs, including the Tillu Tajpuria gang, the Neeraj Bawana-Rajesh Bawana gang, the Jitendra alias Gogi gang, and the Kala Jatheri gang.
During the raids, police recovered a large amount of cash and several weapons from multiple locations. FIRs have been registered against the accused, and further details are awaited.
Earlier, Delhi Police carried out joint operations at 25 locations in Dwarka and on the city’s outskirts to crack down on gangsters.
According to DCP Dwarka Ankit Kumar Singh, the raids targeted wanted criminals who had previously worked as shooters or provided logistical or financial support to gangs.
‘This drive was against all wanted criminals — those who were once shooters or associates, or those who provided logistics or financial aid to gangsters,’ Singh told ANI.
During the operation, police recovered eight sophisticated pistols and several country-made firearms, detaining more than twenty-six people.
In a separate development, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police arrested a former advocate for allegedly masterminding a massive Ponzi scheme that duped investors of approximately INR 100 crore by promising exorbitant returns through stock market investments.
The accused, identified as Sanjay (36), a resident of Geeta Colony in Delhi, was reportedly running the scheme through a network of companies, including Trade Cops Pvt. Ltd. and Tradecop Financial Services. He had earlier been lodged in Karnal jail in connection with a similar case.
Sanjay and his associates, including alleged mastermind and fellow advocate Deepak Thakur, solicited funds from the public by guaranteeing a fixed monthly return of 8 per cent, claiming the profits were generated through sophisticated ‘in-house algorithms’ capable of yielding over 20 per cent monthly in financial markets.
Investors were promised that their investment would double within 25 months, with a 4 per cent monthly payout and the remaining 4 per cent reinvested. The scheme initially paid returns to early investors to build credibility but later stopped payments before the accused disappeared.
