NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Saturday claimed to have arrested two men for allegedly gunning down an alleged member of Tillu Tajpuriya gang as fallout of a gang rivalry.
The man had been murdered on October 11 in Rohini. Two jailed criminals associated with the murder have also been rearrested in the case. Police have found that the killers are associated with slain gangster Gogi, who was recently executed in Rohini court.
The arrested men have been identified as Sahil Solanki (22), resident of Rohini Sector-17, and his associate Naveen Sharma (21) from Vijay Vihar Phase-II. The two other men who are already jailed and have been rearrested in this case are Kapil Maan and Rohit Rana.
On October 11, KN Katju Marg police station received information that a man had been shot dead in Rohini Sector-17. “The deceased was identified as Deepak alias Radhey, from Rohtak, Haryana. It also surfaced that he was an associate of the Tillu Tajpuria gang. One bullet (9mm) and one empty cartridge (7.65 mm) were recovered from the spot. A case of murder was registered and various CCTV footages of nearby areas were analysed to gather clues about the assailants,” said a senior police officer.
Finally, cops managed to zero in on a suspect named Sahil Solanki. “Our teams laid a trap and Solanki was arrested. During questioning, he confessed to have killed Deepak. He disclosed that he, along with an associate, had killed Deepak on the directions of gangsters of the Gogi gang who are currently lodged in Tihar and Mandoli jails,” the officer said.
Deputy commissioner of police (Rohini) Pranav Tayal said that he was in close contact with gangsters Kapil Maan and Rohit Moi. "He also disclosed the whereabouts of his associate Naveen, who was arrested later," Tayal said.
