Extortionists fire outside builder's office in outer Delhi, demand Rs 50 lakh

NEW DELHI: The spate of extortion calls refuse to die down in outer Delhi, even after the arrest of top extortionists such as Neeraj Bawana and Manoj Morkheri. In a fresh incident reported on Monday night, some unidentified men fired two rounds outside the office of a leading property dealer and real estate consultant in Bawana. The accused left after leaving behind a note seeking Rs 50 lakh as 'protection money'. The incident was reported around 7 pm on Monday, even when the builder, a resident of Pushpanjali Enclave in Pitampura, was not at his DSIDC complex office in Bawana. The police have registered a case of extortion and are investigating the case.

According to top district officials, the letter threatened the builder of dire consequences if the ransom was not paid. "The letter was 'signed' in the name of two local criminals - Rajesh alias Imran and Sunder; both currently lodged in jail. The accused could either be their own men owing allegiance to extortionist Sandeep Chitania, who fled from cops and is now absconding".

Additionally, the accused could be local petty criminals who are trying to cash in on the absence of these two extortionists,'' claimed an investigating officer. Earlier, in at least three occasions in this year, industrialists and businessmen from this area received threatening ransom calls and their employees threatened by goons. The crime branch, has meanwhile, redoubled their efforts along with outer Delhi police - to try and nab Sandeep, who off late, has emerged as an important game changer in the area.

"There are at least three new carjacking and extortion gangs now operating in the Najafgarh-outer delhi areas. Vikas Langpuria from the Langpur village, Vicky from Jharoda village and Sandeep Mental's gangs from Baba Haridas Nagar have long been trying to challenge the dominance of the old gangs of the area. Sandeep, in fact, is suspected of carrying out a number of high-profile auto-lifting cases in south Delhi with the assistance of master car lifter Manoj Bakkarwala, from jail.

Meanwhile, the questioning of one Deepak from Neeraj Bawana gang had revealed that the gang - severely weakened by Bawana's arrest - is trying to collect money to fight his case in court. The gang had committed many crimes like carjacking and murder, attempt to murder, contract killings and extortions in the past six years and had created panic in DSIDC areas of Bawna, Rohini and outer Delhi areas by constantly making threatening calls for extortion.
