Shooter linked to Lawrence Bishnoi gang held in West Delhi

After the businessman refused to pay, Sharma was allegedly tasked with carrying out a firing attack to intimidate him, officers said. In May last year, Sharma and his associates allegedly opened fire at the businessman’s residence, following which a case was registered and the accused were arrested, they added.

According to police, Sharma was later released on bail but continued his criminal activities and began supplying arms and ammunition to members of the Bishnoi gang.

In December 2025, four Bishnoi gang members were arrested in Jaipur’s Jawahar Nagar area with a large cache of weapons. During the investigation, Sharma was identified as the source of the illegal arms, officers said. A separate Arms Act case was subsequently registered against him in Rajasthan.

Following intelligence inputs, an AGS team tracked Sharma to Uttam Nagar in West Delhi. A raid was conducted on Friday, leading to his arrest. After questioning, he was handed over to Rajasthan Police for further investigation.

Police said Sharma is an active associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and was operating mainly in Rajasthan by supplying weapons and assisting in crimes. Further investigation is underway to identify his associates and trace the wider network, officers said.
