Delhi: A team of the Special Cell has arrested two criminals following an encounter in the Kapashera area
Additional CP of the Special Cell, Pramod Singh Kushwaha, says, “The arrested criminals are Akash Rajput, a resident of Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, and Mahipal, a resident of Bharatpur, Rajasthan. Akash Rajput was involved in a ransom shooting outside a hospital in Assandh, Karnal, in July 2022, which was orchestrated by the expatriate gangster Daler Kotia. He was also wanted in a kidnapping-for-ransom incident in Gujarat in July 2025, in which the expatriate gangster Kiritsinh Jhala demanded a ransom of 100 crore rupees from the victim. The Rajasthan Police had announced a reward of 20,000 rupees for Akash Rajput. He had recently joined Rohit Godara, Goldy Brar, and Virender Charan through wanted Rajasthan gangsters Jagdish Jagla and Abhishek Gaur and had nearly completed the process of obtaining a fake passport to flee India. The criminal, Mahipal, was on bail after being arrested in the Assandh, Karnal shooting incident and had joined Akash Rajput, along with gangsters living abroad. The injured criminal has been sent for medical attention. Legal investigation is underway.”
