Police arrests eight gangsters including Nito

In a major operation, Bihar Police nabbed eight gangsters including their kingpin Nitish Yadav alias Nito alias Don, wanted in several cases of murder, dacoity and loot from Hemjapur village in Patna district today.
The police team led by Patna SSP Manu Maharaj came under fire while trying to catch them. All the eight persons surrendered after the police returned the fire. Six pistols, two magazines, 32 cartridges and five bombs were recovered from them.
Maharaj said Yadav and his gang has been involved in several cases of murder, loot, dacoity, extortion and forcibly capturing land belonging to others.
"A surprising aspect of this gang was that they used to provide arms and criminals to politicians and other people on rent. We are investigating this further to find out the identity of such persons," said Maharaj.

Police officers said the terror of Yadav was such that people targeted by him usually avoided registering FIRs.
They also said that the kingpin has confessed about extorting money from railway contractors and local businessmen. He was in touch with several notorious criminals operating in various parts of Bihar, they said.
