Out On Morning Walk, 43-Yr-Old Man Killed In Front Of Daughter
New Delhi: A 43-year-old man was shot dead while his daughter was injured when armed men on a bike fired several shots at the duo on their morning walk on Friday in northwest Delhi's Bawana. The deceased was identified as Deepak Kumar. Police claimed that the murder was a fallout of a gang war, and UK-based gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu was behind the killing. Kumar was allegedly shot eight times from close range near the fields adjoining his farmhouse. Sources said that he was the nephew of underworld don Manjeet Mahal, and the murder might be linked to a long-standing feud between Mahal and London-based Nandu. "Kapil Sangwan suspected Kumar was actively working for Mahal and thus ordered the hit," alleged a police source. The two gangsters have been at odds for years, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen people.

His daughter was also injured in her hand and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. "The shooters appeared to have conducted a reconnaissance and were well aware of Kumar's routine. They likely knew he stepped out each morning for walks and waited for the right moment to strike," a police officer commented. The attackers fled immediately after the shooting, which occurred just a few metres from Kumar's residence. The deceased was reportedly involved in trading and other business activities. Sources said he was the nephew of jailed gangster t Mahal, a name long associated with violent gang rivalries in Delhi and Haryana. Police suspect that the murder was ordered by UK-based Nandu, who has an Interpol Red Corner Notice against him. This incident is being seen as another episode in the series of gang wars in Delhi, with police struggling to curb the violence. "There's reason to believe Kumar's killing is part of the ongoing Mahal-Nandu feud," a source said, adding that Sangwan ordered a hit to allegedly assert dominance over the rival gang. Over a dozen lives have already been lost in the rivalry between the two gangs. Just two years ago, Nandu was named in the murder of a BJP leader in Delhi. Earlier this year, he was also linked to the killing of a builder in Paschim Vihar. Police teams are poring through CCTV footage of the area in an effort to identify and trace the assailants.

CBI secures deportation of key accused in ₹252-crore drug case from UAE
MUMBAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday secured the deportation of Taher Salim Dola, a key accused in a ₹252-crore synthetic drug case, from the United Arab Emirates. Dola, wanted by the Mumbai police for allegedly operating an illegal Mephedrone manufacturing unit in Sangli, arrived at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on flight AI-984 from Dubai, CBI officials said. Dola had been arrested by Abu Dhabi police in January after Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against him on November 25, 2024, following a request from the Mumbai police. His location in the UAE was tracked through close coordination between the CBI, Interpol, and UAE authorities, officials said. 'The International Police Cooperation Unit (IPCU) of the CBI, in collaboration with NCB-Abu Dhabi, successfully facilitated Dola's return through Interpol channels,' a senior CBI official said. 'He is a wanted subject in a major case under investigation by the Mumbai police.' According to the CBI, Dola is accused of remotely managing a synthetic drug factory in Sangli from abroad, along with a few others. In March last year, Mumbai police seized 126.14 kg of Mephedrone—commonly known as 'MD'—from the illegal facility, with the contraband valued at approximately ₹252 crore. The case is being investigated by the Kurla police, which registered the initial FIR. During the probe, Look Out Circulars were issued against Dola and two others. The CBI later routed an extradition request through the Government of India, following Dola's arrest in the UAE. Red Corner Notices, issued via Interpol, allow for the arrest or detention of fugitives in member countries pending extradition or deportation. 'The CBI, as India's National Central Bureau for Interpol, coordinates all such efforts through its BHARATPOL platform,' the official said. In recent years, over 100 wanted fugitives have been brought back to India through Interpol cooperation, officials added.
