Gurgaon: A 21-year-old gangster has been arrested here along with his three accomplices for killing one of their former gang members who had become a rival.
Police said on Monday that Akash Yadav, 21, who had also gunned down his schoolmate in Gurgaon nearly eight years ago, was finally arrested for another murder along with his accomplices.
Yadav alias Ashu, Manish alias Goga, Manjeet alias Monu and Ashok alias Mental, all in the age group of 19-25, have been arrested for killing Manish alias Bihari in a market in sector 21 here on March 24.
Bihari, 23, a history-sheeter, once used to be a friend of the main accused Yadav. But he turned Yadav`s rival and was allegedly shot dead by Yadav and his accomplices.
"All four accused were arrested from outside Sultanpur National Park here near Farukh Nagar on Sunday night. We will demand five-day police remand for them," Jai Prakash Godara, deputy commissioner of police (crime), told mediapersons.
Two country-made pistols, cartridges and a SUV Scorpio, registered in the name of Yadav, were recovered from their possession.
"Yadav, a B.Tech dropout from a private university here, was living separately from his family in a rented accommodation in Dundahera village on the Delhi-Gurgaon border. He planned to form his own gang and was looking for `faithful and brave` members," the officer said.
Yadav already has half a dozen cases of attempt to murder, robbery, snatching, extortion and assault against his name.
"Deceased gangster Bihari had tried to kill Yadav on several occasions but he always managed to escape," the officer added.
