The Delhi Police has arrested a 29-year-old wanted criminal allegedly linked to the Sheikh Firoz alias Saiful alias Dhingra gang operating in northwest Delhi’s Jahangir Puri, an official said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Javed alias Kallu Dada, a resident of Jahangir Puri, was wanted in connection with a case registered under charges related to armed assault in the area, he said.
Javed has a criminal background and was previously involved in cases of robbery-murder and attempted murder. He was convicted and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment in a robbery-murder case registered in 2015 at Jahangir Puri police station.
He is an active member of the Dhingra gang and had been evading arrest for a considerable period in the recent case.

His criminal antecedents were verified, confirming his involvement in multiple serious offences, police said, adding that further investigation is underway.
