New Delhi, Oct 3 || In a major crackdown against foreign-based gangster networks operating in India, the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two alleged criminals after an early morning encounter in the Kapashera area.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Aakash Rajput, a resident of Sri Ganganagar, and Mahipal, a resident of Bharatpur, both from Rajasthan.
According to officials, Aakash Rajput has a significant criminal history and was wanted in multiple high-profile extortion and kidnapping cases linked to gangsters operating from abroad. He was reportedly involved in a July 2022 firing incident outside a hospital in Assandh, Karnal, carried out at the behest of foreign-based gangster Daler Kotia. Furthermore, he is a key accused in a July 2025 kidnapping-for-ransom case in Gujarat, where gangster Kirit Singh Jhala, based overseas, demanded Rs 100 crore from the victim’s family.
