Haryana STF arrests two wanted criminals
GURUGRAM: The Haryana Special Task Force (STF) on Friday arrested two criminals wanted in several cases, including the robbery of ₹20 lakh from a liquor trader’s office in Gurugram this year, police said.
STF inspector general of police Saurabh Singh said a team that included deputy superintendent of police Kaptan Singh and inspector Sonu Malik arrested Anshul and Ankit.
Acting on a tip off, the STF put up a barricade on the Bahadurgarh-najafgarh road in Delhi and signalled two youths on a bike to stop.
But instead of stopping, the pillion rider opened fire on the police team, police said.
“When the STF team chased the bike, one of the accused again fired at the team and jumped off the flyover after our men fired in the air in retaliation,” Singh said.but Anshul, who made the leap, suffered a fracture.
The arrested men were accused of looting ₹20 lakh from the office of liquor trader Chander Bhan in Pataudi, 26 km from Gurugram, on May 7, along with their aides Karamjeet and Vikas. LONDON :Daljinder Bassi, a Wolverhampton-based man who acted as a wholesaler to drug dealers in the West Midlands has been ordered to pay back £742,270 (around ₹6.7 crore) in a confiscation hearing in court. Bassi, 36, was jailed for 13 years in February following an investigation by the National Crime Agency and Met Police Organised Crime Partnership.
The Wolverhampton Crown Court has now ordered him to hand over the amount, based on an assessment of his assets.
His total criminal benefit figure was judged to have been £1,187,650 (around ₹10.7 crore), official sources said.
Investigations revealed that Bassi used various hiding places in his home, including under the floorboards, beneath the insulation in the loft and within the wall cavities, to store cash and class-a drugs in powder, rock and block.
The cash hidden in the walls was only accessible from the loft using a home-made pulley system.
Officers searching his home in October 2017 seized £737,000 (₹6.65 crore) in cash, 22kg of heroin,
