Delhi Police arrest three Gangland operatives, foil NCR extortion plot
Police in Delhi caught three men who were part of a new gang called 'Gangland'.
The leader of the gang is a 26-year-old man named Kanha Singh Jadaul, also known as Kanha Thakur.
Police believe the gang wanted to scare business owners by firing guns so they would pay them money.
The three men were caught late at night on July 29 while driving in a car in an area called Dwarka.
Inside the car, police found three guns and eleven bullets.
The gang was inspired by another gang led by a wanted criminal named Rohit Godara.
The leader is originally from Mathura but moved to Jaipur with his family about fifteen years ago.
Police say catching these men stopped several planned crimes like extortion and gun firing in Delhi-NCR.
The three men are now facing charges under the Arms Act.
Delhi Police's Special Cell arrested three members of the Mathura-based 'Gangland' gang, including alleged kingpin Kanha Singh Jadaul alias Kanha Thakur.
The arrests on the night of July 29-30 in the Dwarka area foiled a suspected extortion plot targeting businesses in Delhi-NCR.
Police recovered three firearms, eleven live cartridges, and a Scorpio vehicle from the accused.
The newly formed gang was reportedly inspired by fugitive gangster Rohit Godara and was scouting for vulnerable targets.
Accused Suraj and Vallabha Charya, both from Rajasthan, are also linked to cases including attempt to murder and Arms Act violations.
