GANGLAND GODFATHER

Ten days since they hit the notoriety list by allegedly gunning down three youths in a matter of minutes in south Delhi, the Bunty ‘killer-biker’ gang has now become a huge headache, and the most-wanted gang, for Delhi Police. The gang’s kingpin — Bunty, alias Om Prakash — has been declared the most-wanted criminal in the Capital.

The modus operandi in the recent cases and his release from jail along with his accomplices makes him the prime suspect. "...

Brajesh Singh, one of India’s most wanted Mafia dons with a history of extortion, murder and tender fixing cases spread across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal and Gujarat was arrested by the Delhi police and produced in a court here today. Singh, operating with several alias, had confessed to the police that he had been involved in a dozen murders in UP and had earned Rs 10 crore a year from extortion.
