A case under relevant sections of BNS including Arms Act was registered against the accused at the crime branch police station.

Bhati’s criminal background traces back to 2000, when his father was killed in a property dispute. Seeking revenge, he and his brothers murdered Sushil, a resident of Dadri, UP, for which he served a jail sentence, Singh added.

The DCP said the operation showcases the relentless efforts of the Delhi Police in ensuring the safety of citizens by dismantling organized crime syndicates.
