30-year-old Ajay was arrested on August 19 by the Crime Branch here, the police said, adding he has been involved in cases of murders, robbery, etc in Haryana and Delhi.
The accused has been held, among others, over the killing of gangster Rajesh Durmat of the Neetu Dabodhia gang on April 29 over a gang-war, a senior police officer said.
On a tip-off that Ajay would come near Kanjhawala Chowk, Bawana-Delhi Road to meet someone on August 19, the police laid a trap and arrested him, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Madhur Verma.
During interrogation, Ajay told police that he was close to one Rajeev Aasodia alias Kala, who was allegedly killed by Durmat. After Aasodia's death, Ajay came in contact with Naveen Bali, an associate of Bawana and joined his gang, the police officer said.
The DCP said Ajay has also revealed his involvement in Durmat's killing, with his associates Narander, Surender Bamdolia, Raj Kumar, Satish Badhania, Praveen and Mohit, who were nabbed from the spot.
The arrested accused had received instructions from one Bali, who is currently lodged at Tihar Jail, through Raj Kumar, to "eliminate" Durmat.
