Alleged gangsters arrested

NEW DELHI: Two alleged gangsters, including a Law graduate, have been arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi police. One of them was wanted by the Uttar Pradesh police in several cases of murder, attempt to murder and kidnapping.

According to the police, the accused were arrested following a brief exchange of fire at Sarai Kale Khan in South Delhi on October 20 afternoon.

The police have recovered a US-made pistol, a country-made revolver and live cartridges from the accused who have been identified as Dharmender Sirohi and Arun Kumar Sharma.

The police said the accused were trying to expand their base in the Capital.

During interrogation, Dharmender allegedly disclosed that he was a law graduate from NAS College Meerut in 1996.

He started private practice in the courts of Meerut and Bulandshahr. In 1999, he was also selected as a public prosecutor in a Chandigarh court.

However, due to his criminal background he was not allowed to take up that assignment. He was wanted in five murder cases, including one of kidnapping and murder.
