Thr police then raided a rented flat in the area the same day, arresting three more gang members: Parmod, Sunil and Sachin. Additionally, Deshant was arrested when he arrived during the raid.
The team recovered five semi-automatic pistols, 13 live cartridges, a country-made pistol with two live cartridges and a button-actuated knife from their possession along with Rs 2 lakh in cash.
The crime branch informed the gang was planning the murder of rivals, intimidate businessmen and expand their control. Parmod, a life convict who jumped parole last year, is the brother of another notorious gangster, Vicky Sanyashi. The brothers had committed a murder in 2011 in the Palam village area. Pramod had been in contact with Kapil Sangwan and started working on his instance.
Deshant was the recruiter of the gang and hired Jitesh, Suraj, and Anil – who lack any criminal background – for the task, officials further added.
