Three wanted persons landed in
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.
Acting in the matter, police zeroed in on Devender, who was in a hospital for treatment of his injury. He disclosed the details about the robbed car following which Neeraj and Amit were tracked down even as the remaining two gang members managed to flee, police said.
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.
Though Anna himself was not involved in the carjacking, it was found that the gang had taken shelter under him. Anna is presently out on bail and the police are likely to arrest him too.
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.
