Delhi Police Nab Cross-Border Dacoit Gang After Shootout

Delhi Police arrested six alleged members of a Bangladesh-based dacoit gang following a midnight shootout near Sarai Kale Khan. According to investigators, the suspects illegally crossed the border into India to commit violent robberies and murders across multiple states, including Goa, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha, before fleeing back to Bangladesh to avoid capture. The operation was carried out by the Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Cell of the Crime Branch after receiving a tip-off about a planned robbery in South Delhi.

The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

Authorities stated that the gang used a hit-run-hide strategy, often targeting affluent households and elderly residents. They relied on local contacts and relatives to identify targets with substantial gold and cash holdings, while avoiding mobile phones to bypass detection. During the confrontation, police recovered country-made pistols, live cartridges, and house-breaking tools from the suspects. Two additional associates managed to escape into the dark.

The gang is linked to numerous serious offenses, including a 2025 incident in Goa where they allegedly stole cash and jewellery worth 35 lakh rupees, another case involving the looting of about one kilogram of gold ornaments and 3 lakh rupees, and assaults on elderly residents in Karnataka. Investigators noted that some of the arrested individuals were wanted in older cases and had non-bailable warrants issued against them.
