Deepak “Boxer,” one of the national capital’s most wanted gangsters, was apprehended in Mexico by the Delhi Police’s Special Cell with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), authorities said on Tuesday. According to a senior police officer, a Special Cell team is presently in Mexico and has apprehended the gangster, who will be brought to India.
Deepak took over the Gogi gang following the assassination of gangster Jitendra Gogi in the Rohini court building here last year. He was sought in connection with the death of builder Amit Gupta, who was shot multiple times in the left leg and abdomen on August 23, last year in Burari, north Delhi.
Deepak had claimed the responsibility for Gogi’s killing on Facebook, saying they had killed him due to his proximity with their rival Tillu gang. They suspected that Gupta had passed on information to police about Fazza, who was killed in an encounter.
