Delhi: Two members of the notorious ‘Chhenu Gang’ have been apprehended in north Delhi’s Kashmiri Gate area for their alleged involvement in multiple criminal cases, police said on Tuesday.
The suspects have been identified as Haji Imran (41) and Abdul Rehman (38), according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime branch) Rakesh Paweriya.
The police officer stated that the duo was travelling in a car that was intercepted by a team of police officials based on prior information. They attempted to flee the vehicle but were unsuccessful, Paweriya added.
A semi-automatic pistol loaded with three cartridges and a country-made pistol with one cartridge were seized from them, the DCP noted.
Another officer revealed that Imran disclosed his entry into criminal activities in 2010 and subsequently joined Irfan, the leader of the Chhenu Gang, which has been involved in numerous cases of extortion, robbery, and theft in East Delhi. Irfan is currently incarcerated in Tihar jail.
Police reported that Imran and Irfan were involved in a dacoity case in East Delhi in 2011 and allegedly committed two murders during a gang war in 2017 in the Jafrabad and Bhajanpura areas.
Following the murders, Imran was in judicial custody for approximately three and a half years. In 2022, he was released from jail and recruited Abdul Rehman as his associate. Imran has allegedly been involved in eight criminal cases in East Delhi, while Rehman has been implicated in gambling and theft cases. (With inputs from PTI)
