Delhi Police has arrested four individuals, including a gangster’s wife and a minor, in connection with an extortion case in the Dwarka area, an official said on Saturday.
The accused have been identified as Vikas alias Vicky, Rohit alias Rocky, Gitika alias Gitu, and a minor, the officer stated.
Gitika is the wife of gangster Sachin alias Bhanja, a member of the Kala-Jhathedi gang, he added.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Ankit Singh, on March 10, the four suspects arrived at a complainant’s residence in Jharoda Kalan in a car and allegedly issued threats at gunpoint, demanding money on Sachin’s behalf.
Following this, the complainant and their business associates received multiple threatening calls.
A case was registered at Bhagat Singh Nagar Police Station under IPC sections 308 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
During the investigation, CCTV footage was examined, and technical surveillance helped identify the accused, he stated.
Gitika was located in Dulheda village in Haryana’s Jhajjar district and subsequently apprehended. Further raids resulted in the arrests of Vicky, Rocky, and the minor, he added.
Investigations revealed that Vicky, recently released on parole, had met Sachin in Tihar Jail along with Gitika. Sachin had allegedly instructed him to intimidate local property dealers who had stopped paying extortion money.
As per the plan, Vicky arranged a car and three accomplices, using a social media platform to contact the victims, the officer stated.
Vicky has a criminal background, with three murder cases registered in Rohtak and Sonipat, while Rohit has been involved in two murder cases, he said.
