Two Gang Operatives Arrested in Delhi
Two men were caught by the police in Delhi.
The first man, Pradeep Sharma, is part of a group called the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The police think he did some bad things like asking for money illegally, shooting at people, and selling guns without permission.
He was caught because of these problems that started last year in a place called Rajasthan.
The second man, Manoj Rathee, is part of another group led by Kapil Sangwan.
He was wanted for a murder that happened in 2021 and for having illegal guns.
He had been hiding abroad for almost two years but was caught when he came back to Delhi.
Both men were caught because the police were looking for them.
