The Delhi Police arrested gangster Ankesh Lakra in the recent firing incidents witnessed in Outer Delhi district. Lakra had aided gangster Kuldeep Maan alias Fajja escape from custody at GTB hospital and is lodged in Mandoli jail.

Two men were shot at in Bakkarwala village in case of mistaken identity where gangsters aides were searching for a businessman for extortion and shot at a wrong person.

Lakra is a member of Jitender Gohi gang who was allegedly trying to extort money from a businessman in the locality and sent his men to threaten him, but they entered the wrong house and killed the victims, Joginder Kumar (41) and Mangal Ram (60).

Lakra was arrested last year after he allegedly helped gangster Kuldeep Maan alias Fajja (28) escape from custody at GTB hospital and is lodged in Mandoli jail.
During investigation, the businessman told police that he was receiving extortion calls. Police found the calls came from Mandoli jail and zeroed in on Lakra.

The officials stated that Lakra was trying to extort Rs 20,000- Rs 30,000 from the businessman who refused to pay up. To threaten the businessman, he had contacted his associates and asked them to fire at him. The plan was not to murder the man. However, the assailants went to Joginder’s home and he tried to snatch their pistols. During the scuffle, the accused fired at all three men leaving two dead and one injured.

The assailants are involved in another firing incident, in which a realtor was shot at in Burari. The realtor has alleged links with Gogi's rival, Tillu Tajpuriya.
