New Delhi, December 15

The Haryana Police alongwith the central agencies arrested wanted gangster Vikas Lagarpuria Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport after deportation from Dubai in connection with the multi crore Gurugram heist case. 

Lagarpuria, who hails from the Badli village in Haryana’s Jhajjar, has more than 30 criminal cases against him, including those of murder, attempt to murder, robbery, extortion, and kidnapping. He was also booked under MCOCA.

He was also wanted under the RCN issued by the Interpol. 

The Haryana STF had lodged an FIR against him after they came to know that he had travelled abroad using a fake passport. 

The Haryana STF was informed through intelligence agencies that Lagarpuria was intercepted while trying to flee from Dubai where he had been hiding. However, he escaped and was caught again subsequently. 

As per the case details, the multi-crore heist in August 2021, at least Rs 30 crore was stolen from the office/flat of Alpha G Corp Management Services Pvt. Ltd at Sector 84 in Gurgram. 

The law enforcement had arrested 5 persons, including henchmen of the gangster and a Delhi Police ASI. The police also recovered Rs 5.78 crores, including foreign currency and gold.

The investigation has showed that Lagarpuria, in connivance with another main accused, Dr Suchender Jain Nawal, had allegedly planned the heist. The investigation also revealed that the arrested ASI, Vikas Gulia, was Lagarpuria’s childhood friend and allegedly sheltered him from the Delhi Police. 

The arrest of a dreaded gangster Lagarpuria is big catch for Haryana Police.
