The Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted three international extortion modules operated by multiple gangs, including those led by Lawrence Bishnoi and Kala Jathedi, and apprehended eight people, along with six firearms, officials said on Friday. These gangs were contacting juveniles and youngsters through social media and recruiting them to extort money from people, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Singh Yadav said, adding these recruits were given a list of targets to threaten and extort money from.
The money extorted by them was then transferred through hawala channels to the gang leaders like Lawrence Bishnoi, who operate from abroad, the officer said. Of the eight nabbed by police, three accused, including two juveniles, had fired outside a house in Hari Nagar.
