The Gurugram Police had placed a reward sum of Rs. 25,000 for capturing Sanjeev.

Based on a tip-off that Sanjeev would be present in the vicinity of Gurugram’s Manesar area, the police sent a team to the spot where they successful­ly nabbed Sanjeev along with two of his accomplice­s.

Sanjeev will now be charged with sections 148, 149, 302, 397, 307 and 120-B of the IPC. Sanjeev’s two accomplice­s were identified as Sujeet and Ajit. Sujeet and Ajit, aged at 19 and 20 respective­ly, both belong to Rohtak.

“The arrest of Sanjeev is one of the biggest achievemen­ts of Gurugram Police. Sanjeev is one of the most dreaded gangsters in the city and was involved in high-profile criminal cases, including the murder of Manish Gurjar, brother of gangster Binder Gurjar,” said Sumit Kuhar, DCP Crime Branch.
