Delhi Mundka shooting: Rival gang claims responsibility for murder of ‘Gogi gang member’

According to a Delhi Police officer, initial investigations had suggested that Lakra was a member of the Gogi gang and was targeted by the members of its rival, Tillu gang. The social media post also suggested the same but it is yet to be verified, the officer added.

The message was posted from the account of a person named Chiku Pehalwan. It carries the names of gangsters, such as Tillu Tajpuria, Neeraj Bawana, Kaushal Chaudhary and Davinder Bambiha.

“Cheeku Dhankar and Amit Dabangg take responsibility for the killing of Amit Lakra in Mundka. We eliminated Lakra as he was providing logistical support to our rival gang members lodged in Tihar Jail,” the post in Hindi said.

“Anyone who helps our rivals in any way will face the same fate. False cases are a different matter, but the Tillu gang has never harmed an innocent person or forcibly taken money from any trader, whether in good or bad times,” it added.

The post requested “all traders and brothers in Delhi not to give a single rupee to these thieves or anyone else representing them”. “If any trader is troubled by them, we are here to stand with you,” it said.

The police said a case of murder was registered on Saturday. “We have got some leads about the accused. They will be arrested soon,” a senior officer said.
