The Delhi Police has arrested two gangsters who had allegedly killed their business partner in east Delhi’s Yamuna Vihar in January. Police have also recovered two semi-automatic pistols, four magazines and two dozen of cartridges from the possession of the accused.
The accused have been identified as Kamaljeet Singh (44), a resident of Delhi and Sunil Malik (29), a resident of district Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Both were carrying a reward of Rs 20,000 each in connection with the murder of Kamaljeet’s business partner Subhash Rawat.
According to Manishi Chandra, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Special Cell, Kamaljeet and Malik were nabbed on Monday from Johri Enclave metro station area.
“During investigation, the duo was also found involved in 55 other cases including robbery and murder. The two-wheeler and the pistol, used to murder Rawat, were also recovered from their possession,” said the DCP.
“Interrogation revealed that Kamaljeet and Rawat were involved in the real estate business. They were engaged in sale and purchase of disputed properties in the Trans Yamuna area for the last five years. With time, differences cropped up between them over sharing of profits,” said the DCP.
“Kamaljeet thought Rawat had usurped Rs 1.5 crores from him. When the matter could not be resolved amicably, Singh conspired with his brother Charanjeet Singh and his associates to kill Rawat,” the DCP said.
“On January 31, the accused started following Rawat from Burari. They intercepted Rawat’s vehicle near Brijpuri and fired multiple times at him,” said the DCP
“Singh has been involved in a dispute with gangster Satyaprakash for the last four years over collection of money from ‘satta’ network operating in the Trans-Yamuna area. Kamaljeet along with his brother Charanjeet had been named “Bad Characters” by the Jafrabad police station.
Charanjeet has been involved in over 60 cases of heinous crimes including murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, robbery, pick-pocketing, Arms Act and MCOCA,” said the DCP “Efforts are on to nab Charanjeet and the other accused involved in the incident,” the DCP added.
