Two wanted criminals linked to foreign-based gangsters Harry Boxer and Rohit Godara were arrested after an encounter with Delhi Police’s Special Cell here, officials said on Thursday.

According to police, Boxer, who was recently in the news for threatening comedian Kapil Sharma, and Godara are linked with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Acting on a tip-off that the two criminals — Kartik Jakhar and Kavish — were planning to commit a crime in the city, police laid a trap and arrested them following an encounter in east Delhi’s New Ashok Nagar late on Wednesday night, police said.

One of the accused sustained a bullet injury in his leg during the exchange of fire, the officials said.

“Both are hardcore criminals and have been involved in multiple extortion call cases in Delhi recently,” an officer said.
