The Delhi Police Special Cell have arrested four members of the notorious Naveen Khati-gang in connection with the murder of a member of a rival gang in outer Delhi in March. According to police, the murder was in retaliation for the murder of four members of Khati’s gang on New Year’s Eve.
The accused have been identified as Sagar, Sunil, Vipin Sehrawat and Rohit. According to police, on March 5, Rohtash, his father—Gopal Pale and another gang-member were strolling outside his house in Mitraon Village in outer Delhi, when some youths came on a bike, followed by some others in a car and fired at Rohtash on the head and chest. To make sure that he had died, they also stabbed him in his chest.
After committing the act, they escaped immediately. It was known from the very beginning that the murder was committed to avenge the four members of the Naveen Khati group on the eve of New Year.
It is important to mention that four members were shot dead and taken to Bahadurgarh,
Haryana and set on fire in a vehicle. In the recent past, the Special Cell had arrested some members of the group and later the Haryana Police had also arrested other culprits.
“Out of those arrested, Sagar and Sunil are involved in the murder of Rohtash, while the weapon of offence has been recovered from Vipin. At this moment, the involvement of Rohit in the murder case has not been established. It is under investigation,” said Sanjeev Yadav DCP (Special Cell).
“All these four men have been arrested on different dates. They have been on the run since March 5 and had been hiding in different cities across India before we nabbed them,” said Yadav.
According to the police, Naveen Khati and Ravinder, both residents of Mitrau village were involved in a fight over supremacy in the area. Khati is currently lodged in Tihar jail and had tasked his henchmen to eliminate Rohtash.
