Overview
- Crime Branch teams, tipped on May 6 to a gathering at a Pusa Road club in Karol Bagh, waited outside and stopped four men as they exited around 4 am.
- Interrogations led to two more arrests and seizures that totaled nine pistols, a .312-bore rifle, and 81 live cartridges, including two Italian-made Beretta pistols.
- Officers say the suspects coordinated on an encrypted app with fugitive leader Rashid Cablewala in Dubai, while ally Hashim Baba remains in Tihar Jail.
- Police describe the cell as active in the trans-Yamuna area, collecting protection money from local clubs and plotting hits on rival gangs.
- The case, opened under Operation Gang Bust 2.0, now focuses on tracing arms suppliers and testing links to past murders of businessmen Nadir Shah and Sunil Jain.
