A notorious gangster was taken into custody after a clever sting operation orchestrated by the Delhi Police using social media deception. An officer posing as a model ensnared Manoj, a convicted criminal with a history of parole violations and involvement in numerous crimes.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Aditya Gautam revealed that Manoj, associated with the Gogi gang, was wanted for a string of offenses across multiple states. The police's crime branch created a digital trap, utilizing a fake profile that eventually led to Manoj's capture in South Delhi.
Upon his arrest, authorities seized weapons and cartridges from Manoj, who has a long history of criminal activities, including murder and armed robbery. Despite being previously jailed, Manoj's criminal networks remained active and he continued to evade law enforcement until now.
