Modus operandi : This international crime syndicate has been carrying out extortions of businessmen and murders of rivalry gang members in Delhi, NCR, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana and Rajasthan. The modus operandi of the gang has become refined and sophisticated. Since they are working from overseas, it has made it difficult for the Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs)to track their foreign funds. Their murderous rackets are being run with polished professionalism and strict defining of roles and responsibilities of each member.
The rackets run by them can be broken into various sub-parts as explained below:
* First of all, their ground gang member locates the gang member of rivalry gang. These targets are active or financial support member of the rivalry gang. 2. These new recruits are mainly juveniles from the rural areas of Haryana or Rajasthan or Delhi in the age group of 15-20 years. Most of the immature youth are lured just for the sake of getting a kick of being gang members. They are contacted through internet based services and told to reach a particular location and contact further for directions. Their locations are changed frequently and they are never told the identities of persons providing logistics. Weapons are supplied to them through masked or fake identity persons, or they are told to collect firearms, bike, etc. from a remote location (such as a landmark tree in a field). They are told to reccee the target’s house or office or shop. Once the reccee has been done, they committed murder on instance of gang leaders. The responsibility of the murder has been taken by the gang leaders through social media. After the task, they are told to quickly exit and harbored at changing locations before they are assigned a new task.
The whole machinery works in a well-oiled synchronized manner with no communication between the different parts. The handler operates from abroad using international members. The handler coordinates with different gang members – whether it is the recruiting agent or the logistics provider or the shooter. The phones and SIMs are frequently changed besides the locations.
The funds are being collected abroad in safe havens through Hawala routes by the gang members who have escaped overseas through the donkey (mule) route or other alternatives
