A 21-year-old youth allegedly involved in multiple criminal cases, including murder and extortion, and having a reward of Rs 50,000 on his arrest has been apprehended from southwest Delhi'a Gopal Nagar area, police said today.
"The accused has been identified as Ram Parvesh alias Lala, who led a gang in southwest Delhi and was allegedly involved in 10 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion and robbery, DCP (south-west)," R A Sanjeev said.
Lala came out on bail around 10 months ago and taking the opportunity of the absence of bigger local gangsters he started a gang with at least four others, said police.
He was initially the sharp-shooter in the gang but after the arrest of his associates Jitender and Ranbir in October, he recruited more youths and became the leader.
"In six months, the gang executed half a donzen incidents of attempt to murder, carjacking and extortion to gain quick control over the area and were further planning to usurp disputed properties," said a senior official.
Acting on a tip-off that the accused was to come at a temple in Gopal Nagar, police laid a trap and nabbed him yesterday, police said.
Police have recovered one pistol and four live cartilages from his possession and further investigations are in process, police said.
