Four members of the Vicky Jharodia gang -- who were wanted for crimes like murder, attempted murder, robberies, extortions and snatchings -- have been arrested in west Delhi, police said on Wednesday.
Police said accused Mohit, Jasbeer, Govinda Bhardwaj and Vishal -- all residents of Nangloi and Tilak Nagar areas -- were arrested on Tuesday on a tip-off when they were driving around in a stolen car near the Punjabi Bagh chowk.
"Police flagged their car to stop at a barricade, after which the accused tried to flee the spot by brandishing a firearm at the police team but were overpowered," Deputy Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar told IANS.
A countrymade pistol, a knife and a stolen Maruti Swift car were seized, Vijay Kumar said. Gang leader Mohit is wanted in a firing incident in Nihal Vihar area.
Police said the gang members stole motorcycles and snatched mobile phones and valuables from women on the streets as well.
