Harshdeep was in direct contact with Nandu and had recruited the shooters for money. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: Chhawla, Delhi Police, extortion, Nandu gang, sharpshooters, Special Cell Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-police-arrest-five-nandu-gang-shooters-for-clinic-extortion-plot/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
