Delhi Police arrested three key operatives, including Aarif alias Pistol and Mubarik alias Gullu, after tracing UAE-based virtual private server calls and foiling a planned shooting at a businessman's residence in Roop Nagar. Technical surveillance and inter-state coordination led to the arrests across Ahmedabad and Delhi.
The police arrested Aarif alias Pistol from Ahmedabad, Mubarik alias Gullu in Delhi, and suspected shooter Nawab Ali alias Sonij, who was apprehended near Rewari station while trying to escape. These individuals were linked to an extortion racket demanding Rs 1 crore in the name of the Goldy Brar gang.
