Policemen arrest one of Bihar's most dreaded gangsters at New Delhi station

Delhi police's Special Cell has arrested one of Bihar's most wanted criminals after picking him up from New Delhi Railway Station in the late hours of Tuesday.

According to the police, Tanveer Alam, 30, who had absconded from Bihar capital Patna, was nabbed following a tip-off that he was exiting the station's gate.

"We received information from Bihar police that one of the most wanted gangsters of Bihar, Tanveer Alam, who has been wanted in a number of sensational cases, is hiding in Delhi. His location was being traced, and following a tip-off, we arrested him," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Sanjeev Kumar.

During interrogation, Alam initially tried to mislead the police officials by stating that he was somebody named Ashok Choudhary. But he eventually cracked under their questioning and revealed his real identity as Tanveer Alam. He also disclosed that he belonged to the notorious 'Pinku Choudhary' gang, which in Patna's gangland is known for its fierce rivalry with the 'Ajay Verma' gang.

In the past, each group has gunned down several members belonging to the other to settle scores and establish dominance in the Bihar capital.

"Alam came to Delhi about two months ago and started residing in Mayur Vihar area under the assumed name of Ashok Choudhary. He continued running his extortion racket by making threatening calls to Patna's affluent businessmen and demanding money," Kumar said.

Alam is wanted in more than 10 cases of crimes of the nature of murder, attempted murder, extortion, dacoity and robbery.
