A 24-year-old man, suspected to be the kingpin of Kobra Gang, was arrested for allegedly assaulting an employee of Ghummanhera Transport Authority last month, police said Monday.

The accused has been identified as Nakul, a resident of Ghummanhera village, they said.

According to a senior police officer, Nakul and his accomplices had assaulted an employee of the transport authority on April 29, police said.

Police had gotten a tip-off on Sunday that Nakul would come to his village. A trap was laid near Jhuljhuli Mor and the accused was arrested, Anto Alphonse, deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka), said.

Nakul worked as driver at a call centre. He joined Naveen Khati Gang of Najafgarh but later formed his own Kobra Gang, the DCP said.

 

Nakul and his gang members had started extorting money from touts around Ghummanhera authority. They had assaulted an employee of the authority after a minor argument on April 29 and fled to Haryana, Alphonse said.

One pistol and two live rounds were recovered from his possession.
