New Delhi, February 13 The Delhi Police has arrested a member of the Gogi gang, who was wanted for nearly two years in a shooting and extortion case in northeast Delhi, an official said on Friday.
The accused, Ankush Chopra, 25, was arrested from Shastri Marg in Maujpur, he said.
Chopra had been on the run since November 30, 2023, after police reported a shooting incident at the businessman's house in the Wazirabad area, he said.
"It was reported that an unidentified person on a motorcycle without number plates fired a shot at the house of a businessman in Wazirabad and fled the scene," the officer said.
A note demanding Rs 50 lakh in extortion money, allegedly in the name of the gang, was also found at the scene, he said.
According to the police, Chopra was declared a proclaimed offender by a Delhi court in June last year, and an FIR was registered against him.
"During the investigation, two minors and six associates of the Gogi gang were arrested. However, Chopra remained at large," police said.
The co-accused, Manish alias Sunny Kakran and Manmohan alias Gaurav, who are currently in Tihar Jail, are alleged to have used minors to carry out the shooting and extortion, police said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, they said.
