Rajesh Bawania, one of the most notorious criminals of the national capital was today arrested along with four of his associates following a brief encounter and a chase with the Special Cell in Outer Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area here this evening, police said.
Although nobody was injured in the gun battle, a huge cache of weapons was recovered by the police from the alleged criminals who have been evading arrest since long.
Based on a tipoff, the Special Cell of Delhi Police laid a trap. After a chase, the criminals were intercepted. Finding no way out, they opened fire prompting the police to retaliate. The gang was soon overpowered and nabbed, said a police official.
Rajesh Bawania is a history-sheeter wanted in several cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion, robberies and Arms Act. He and his gang operated in Outer Delhi's Bawana area.
Another man out of the five arrested accused has been identified as Ravi, who too was wanted in several cases registered in Delhi and NCR.
