Shots fired outside two shops in Delhi, cops suspect same culprits behind both cases

First, eight-nine rounds were fired by the men outside the Nangloi shop and they fled after throwing the note, an officer said.

“At 1.30 pm, a call was received about firing outside a shop in Nangloi. The spot was inspected by the crime team and based on the complainant’s statement, a case is being registered under relevant sections. Efforts to trace the accused persons are on,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Sachin Sharma.

Hours later, in Alipur, three men fired at the shop of a property dealer and fled. “At 3 pm, information was received regarding a firing incident near a gas agency in Budhpur, Alipur. Efforts are on to nab the culprits,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Nidhin Valsan.

The Gogi gang, started by its now dead leader Jitender Mann Gogi, is currently operated by Yogesh ‘Tunda’, in alliance with Ankesh Lakra and Deepak Boxer, all of whom are in Tihar jail, a police officer said.

In September, two men were arrested for firing outside a bakery in Ranhola after which Rs 5 crore was demanded in the name of ‘Tunda’ and the Gogi gang.

Later, two men, claiming to be from the Gogi gang, opened fire at a sweet shop in Nangloi and were arrested, police said. “Both were sharpshooters of the Gogi gang and threatened to extort money. A note was thrown outside the shop with photos of Gogi and Fajja… it also named Lakra,” a police officer said.
