Two of India’s most wanted gangsters, Venkatesh Garg and Bhau Rana, who were operating abroad, have been arrested. The two gangsters will reportedly be deported to India soon.
According to an NDTV report on Sunday, officials from security agencies, including those from the Haryana Police, arrested Garg in Georgia, while Rana was arrested in the United States. An operation to arrest notorious gangsters has revealed crucial information about their modus operandi.
There are currently more than two dozen Indian gangsters who live outside the country but recruit and run crime syndicates from India.
Who is Venkatesh Garg? what did he do
Venkatesh Garg, a resident of Haryana’s Narayangarh, has more than 10 criminal cases registered against him in India. He reportedly fled to Georgia, from where he was arrested, after the murder of a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader in Gurugram.
According to an NDTV report, Garg recruited youth from Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi and other states in North India. He ran an extortion syndicate with gangster Kapil Sangwan, who is also currently staying overseas.
Four gunmen from the Sangwan gang were arrested in October for their involvement in a shooting at a builder’s house and farm.
Who is Bhanu Rana? what did he do
Bhanu Rana is said to be associated with the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Originally a resident of Karnal in Haryana, Rana has been living in the US for some time.
Rana is a household name in the world of active crime and has several police cases registered against him. Rana’s criminal network extends to Haryana, Punjab and Delhi.
Rana’s name also came up during the investigation into the grenade attack in Punjab. In June, two men were arrested from Karnal for possession of hand grenades, pistols and ammunition. During the investigation, they said that they were acting on the orders of the Rana.
