Delhi Police struck gold in their fight against gang violence, arresting Kuldeep Singh (22), the linchpin in a Burari murder plot and Punjab’s audacious Rs 5 crore extortion racket. A member of the Kaushal Chaudhary syndicate, Kuldeep was nabbed from Nursery Road near Dwarka Sector-17’s under-construction market, armed to the teeth and ready for action.
The haul was impressive: a 7.62 mm PX-30 pistol, a chambered 7.65 mm handgun, five rounds, and a scooter stolen from Muradnagar, UP. This led to Arms Act filings as the Crime Branch, guided by DCP Harsh Indora and ACP Bhagwati Prasad, executed the raid flawlessly.
A informant’s whisper about foreign gangsters Pawan Shaukeen and ‘Pa Ji’ Gurdeep’s assassination scheme set the wheels in motion. Kuldeep’s history includes the 2024 Hoshiarpur cloth store shooting for ransom. Bail in August 2025 saw him re-engage via encrypted platforms, importing arms from Haryana, and liaising with UP-Punjab thugs after scouting the target.
By acting decisively, police nipped a grave crime in the bud. Interrogations continue, with teams mobilized to round up associates. This operation underscores the relentless pressure Delhi Police is exerting on interstate criminal empires encroaching on the city.
