Three held for killing cop, gangster

Three men, carrying a reward of Rs one lakh each and wanted in a case in which three persons, including a Delhi Police assistant sub-inspector and a gangster were killed, have been arrested.
On April 30, gangster Monu Daryapur, his personal security officers -- Assistant Sub-Inspector Vijay Kumar and Constable Kuldeep -- and two others, Arun Shastri and Yogesh, were attacked by armed assailants at outer Delhi's Mianwali Nagar.
The armed men had fired indiscriminately at their car, killing Monu, Kumar and Shastri and injuring the other two.
Gangster Sonu Daryapur wanted to kill Monu since the latter had married his cousin.

He joined hands with one Rajesh alias Raje, to kill Monu. Rajesh was arrested last week. On May 20, one Satish was nabbed and on June 8, gangster Naveen Khatri was arrested for his role in planning the shootout.
On July 28, the police received information about three men involved in the Mianwali Nagar shootout coming to Rohini to meet one of their associates, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), Sanjeev Kumar Yadav.

The three -- Sonu alias Kejriwal (25), Sumit alias Palotra (22) and Sandeep alias Padu (25) -- were arrested from near Bahadur Shah Marg, Sector 24-25 Rohini, he added.

Three pistols along with 15 cartridges were seized from them.
A reward of Rs one lakh had been declared by the Delhi Police on their arrest. The Haryana Police had announced a reward of Rs 25,000.
The accused confessed that they belong to a joint gang of Sonu Daryapur and Rajesh and have been involved in several killings, said the officer.
