New Delhi, Apr 21 (PTI) Two persons allegedly linked with the Neeraj Bawana gang were arrested in Delhi’s Dwarka with a foreign-made pistol and ammunition, police said on Tuesday.
The accused were identified as Pardeep Singh (31) and Ashish (32), both residents of Haryana’s Sonipat district.
Acting on a tip-off about two suspicious men frequenting Kiran Garden area in a car, police laid a trap near Matiyala on April 15 and intercepted a car.
