The Story in Brief
The Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested five alleged sharpshooters of the Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu gang for plotting to open fire at a clinic in southwest Delhi's Chhawla area as part of an extortion racket. The accused, identified as Abhishek, Sahil, Harshdeep alias Polu, Karan alias Ankush, and Aman, are from Punjab and Haryana. Three semi-automatic pistols, four live cartridges, and three mobile phones were recovered from them.
Police said the gang, operated from abroad by Nandu, had hired the shooters to target the clinic. The accused had conducted reconnaissance in February but failed to execute the attack due to a heavy crowd. Based on Abhishek's disclosure, the team led by Inspectors Anuj Nautiyal and Chandan Kumar arrested the others. Harshdeep was in direct contact with Nandu and had recruited the shooters for money.
The Indian Opinion
Each arrest of a gang cell is welcome, but the narrative that Delhi's crime graph is spiralling out of control often overlooks such proactive police work. The real story here is the persistent threat from foreign-based handlers like Kapil Sangwan who recruit across states. The test will be whether the police can trace the mastermind and dismantle the entire network, not just the foot soldiers.
