New Delhi: As part of an ongoing campaign against criminals in the national capital, the Special Staff of the Outer North District Police has achieved a significant breakthrough by arresting a wanted criminal linked to the Kala Jathedi gang. The accused has been identified as Rohit alias ‘Haddi’ (28), son of Karambir Singh, a resident of Mukundpur, Delhi. Police recovered a semi-automatic pistol and three live cartridges from his possession.
Outer North District DCP Shobhit D. Saxena stated that on the intervening night of November 12 and 13, the Special Staff received secret information that a criminal involved in a firing incident was present in the Bhalswa Dairy area.
