Delhi STF Captures Notorious 'Ganja' Salim After Badarpur Shootout

Police call the intelligence-led move a step to curb active gang networks in Delhi.

Overview

Delhi Police say Mohammed Salim, known as Ganja, opened fire on an STF team in Badarpur after they tracked him using credible intelligence.
Officers returned fire in self-defence, injured him, overpowered him, and moved him to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police recovered weapons from the scene and placed him under custody as case work continues.
Officials describe Salim as an accused in more than 75 cases, with over 20 still active across Delhi, including murder and attempted murder.
Police allege he is tied to the Nasir and Danish Pehlwan gang and to the killing of gangster Salim Pehlwan, and they frame this arrest within a broader crackdown that also included a recent AATS arrest of a Sonu Dariyapur gang member.
