Police have arrested one man from the gang that had rained bullets on a youth in Dwarka earlier this week, leaving him dead on the spot.

Senior officers said the man belongs to a gang who execute contract killings for extortion or revenge.

"The accused Aman alias Azad is a sharpshooter of the Rajesh Bharti gang. In order to create fear they would leave pamphlets of their gang at the crime scene and flee. A pistol and two live rounds were also recovered from him," said Surendra Kumar, DCP (South-West).

Police officers also stated that there were two other incidents in the last week where the accused is believed to have been involved.

On July 17, Vikas alias Vicky was shot dead by pumping 13 bullets into him. The attackers left a note saying "Gangster Rajesh Kandla alias Bharti," before leaving the spot.

The next day an incident of road rage took place in Outer Delhi where two brothers were shot at, on the main road.

One of them died on the spot while the other was injured.

Investigations revealed that gang members of Rajesh Bharti gang including Aman Khadkhadi, Devender alias Sonu Khadkhadi, Sanjeet Bidroh, Umesh Kaakrola, Mahesh Ismail, Shekhar and others were involved in the Dwarka shooting.

The police received information on Thursday night that Aman would visit Khadkhadi village in southwest Delhi.

When officers intercepted him there, Aman whipped out his pistol, but was nabbed by the police. The motorcycle he was travelling on was found to be stolen. Police officers said that Aman entered the crime world at the age of 17 and his school friends became his associates.
