Delhi Police Cracks Down on Notorious Gangs in Major Raids Across Delhi-NCR and Haryana
Delhi Police swung into action on Thursday with a massive operation targeting hideouts of some of the city’s most feared gangs. They sent out 40 teams from the Outer North District to raid spots linked to groups like the Tillu Tajpuria gang, Neeraj Bawana-Rajesh Bawana gang, Jitendra alias Gogi gang, and Kala Jatheri gang. These raids covered key areas in Delhi-NCR and Haryana, aiming to dismantle the networks behind rising gang violence.
In a big haul, the police seized a huge stash of cash and several illegal weapons from multiple locations. They also registered FIRs against the suspects involved. Officials say more details on the raids will come soon, but the operation has already sent a strong message to underworld elements.
This isn’t the first time Delhi Police has gone after gangsters. Just recently, they carried out joint raids at 25 spots in Dwarka and nearby outskirts. DCP Dwarka Ankit Kumar Singh explained that the focus was on wanted criminals—former shooters, associates, and those providing logistics or financial support to gangs. The drive hit 6-7 key places in Delhi-NCR.
During these Dwarka raids, the teams recovered eight sophisticated pistols and several country-made ones. Over 26 people ended up in custody for questioning. Singh told reporters that the goal was to root out anyone fueling gang activities in the capital.
Delhi Police Busts Rs 100 Crore Ponzi Scheme Run by Ex-Advocate
In a separate crackdown, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police nabbed a former advocate accused of running a massive Ponzi scheme that cheated investors out of around Rs 100 crore. The main suspect, Sanjay (36) from Geeta Colony in Delhi, masterminded the fraud through companies like Trade Cops Pvt. Ltd. and Tradecop Financial Services.
Sanjay, who had earlier served time in Karnal jail for a similar scam, teamed up with fellow advocate Deepak Thakur to lure people with promises of huge stock market returns. They offered a fixed 8% monthly payout, claiming it came from advanced in-house algorithms that could deliver over 20% gains each month. Investors heard their money would double in just 25 months—4% paid out monthly and the rest reinvested.
At first, they paid early investors to build trust, but soon stopped all payouts and vanished. The EOW is now digging deeper into the scam network, and more arrests could follow as they track down affected victims. This bust highlights the growing threat of Ponzi schemes in India, where fraudsters prey on dreams of quick riches.
