After the recent arrest of two dreaded extortionists Neeraj Bawana and Rajesh alias Karambir by Special Cell, Vikas Lagarpuria nurtured ambition to be the number one criminal of Delhi.

He along with his associates Dheer Pal and Manoj Morkheri (both presently lodged in Central Jail, Tihar) planned to dominate the crime world of Delhi.

Lagarpuria along with his associates had recently demanded Rs 25 lakh from Sanjay Kumar, owner of Aggarwal Sweets in Najafgarh and threatened him on mobile phone a number of times.
When Kumar did not pay heed to their threats, infuriated by refusal, Lagarpuria got gun shots fired upon him while he was sitting in his shop. A case was registered in this regard at Chhawla Police Station in Delhi.
