Delhi Police Bust Dubai Don's Network, Arrest Six Shooters in Karol Bagh
The Delhi Police Crime Branch has successfully dismantled a significant criminal network linked to Dubai-based gangsters Rashid Cablewala and Hashim Baba by arresting six alleged shooters. The operation took place at a lounge on Pusa Road in Karol Bagh, central Delhi, where the suspects were gathered for a secret party. The arrested individuals, identified as Faiz Qureshi, Maaz, Nawajish, Affak, Imran, and Arshad, are residents of Babarpur and Brahmpuri with prior records involving murder, extortion, and arms violations. Authorities revealed that the group was actively planning attacks on rival gang members and engaging in illegal arms trading and betting across east and northeast Delhi. During the raid, police recovered multiple sophisticated firearms and cartridges. Investigations indicated that the accused maintained direct contact with fugitive gangster Cablewala via encrypted applications. This bust has prompted senior police officials to express concern over the use of city bars for criminal assemblies, urging district commissioners to implement stricter surveillance measures. Further raids following the initial arrests have led to additional seizures of weapons and potential further apprehensions, marking a significant blow to the organized crime syndicate operating within the capital.
