Ex-MLA’s ‘most wanted gangster’ son held in Delhi

Acting on a tip-off,the special staff team of Southeast Delhi police raided a hotel at CR Park on Saturday and nabbed Prakash. He reportedly told police that he had stepped into the world of crime after murdering an advocate at Civil Lines in Muzaffarnagar.

In 1995,Prakash was arrested for murdering a judicial officer at Bareily in Uttar Pradesh. Thereafter,he had earned notoriety and committed several murders and kidnapping,police said.

According to police,Prakash became notorious as a sharpshooter and he was hired by MCD contractor Subhash Gupta to kill Personal Point Fitness Centre head Sunil Kaul and his two women employees Sujata Shah and Deepa Gupta.

Subhash Gupta had been arrested but Prakash was on the run since then. Gupta had confessed to the police at the time of his arrest that he wanted to marry Kaul’s employee Sujata,but since Kaul opposed the marriage he hired the hitman for the murder.

Kaul’s body was found in Hodal,Faridabad,while the two women were found dead at a field in Muraina,Madhya Pradesh.

Prakash was produced in a Meerut court on Sunday and handed over to the UP Police for a non-bailable warrant issued against him.

Additional CP (Southeast) Ajay Chaudhary said,“We have handed Ravi Prakash to the UP Police . He had jumped bail in a UP murder case. He was the main accused in the triple murder case and had been arrested but he had jumped bail.”
