police net after a carjacking incident in southwest Delhi's Najafgarh area.
One of the wanted trio was injured by a bullet fired by his associate during the incident yesterday, police said.
The arrested persons have been identified as Devender (22), Neeraj Dagar (23) and Amit Dagar (19). Their associates Sudhir and Rinku are at large. The gang operated under Sudhir and was under the protection of one Anna, DCP (Southwest) RA Sanjeev said today.
The three accused allegedly opened fire on a 52-year-old man and robbed his car. Devender, too, received a bullet injury even as the gang escaped with the car.
According to a police source, Devender and Anna were involved in the 2014 murder of one Sajjan Suri, whose brother, Shakti, heads a gang in southwest Delhi.
The same persons were also wanted in Jaipur in connection with the murder of one Gagan Pandit in April last year.
The gang which was busted was primarily involved in the money-lending business, apart from organised gambling, land grabbing and carjacking. Their rivalry with other gangs in the area is for gaining supremacy in the money-lending business, the source added.
Meanwhile, a team has been formed to arrest the other members of the gangs and raids are being carried out in Delhi and Haryana, police said.
