Gangster Lagarpuria convicted under MCOCA
Two men, Vikas Lagarpuria and Dhirpal, were found guilty under a strict law called MCOCA.
This law is used to stop organized crime.
The court decided this almost ten years after they were first accused.
A judge named Vandana Jain made the decision in a court in Dwarka.
The court's order was written on December 10, and the decision was announced on a Wednesday.
Lagarpuria is known for being involved in many crimes, including a big money theft in Gurugram.
He started his criminal activities around 2009 and has been involved in many cases since then.
Vikas Lagarpuria and Dhirpal convicted under Section 3 of MCOCA for running an organised crime syndicate.
Lagarpuria was named in over two dozen cases, including a multi-crore cash heist in Gurugram in August 2021.
Lagarpuria's criminal activities began around 2009 after meeting Dheerpal at an akhara in Najafgarh.
By 2015, over 16 cases were registered against him in southwest Delhi and adjoining Haryana districts.
Lagarpuria carried a reward of Rs 2.5 lakh for his arrest.
