An updated list of top wanted criminals in national capital, prepared by the Delhi police, will now include former Mundka MLA Rambir Shokeen.
Shokeen, who carries a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his arrest, was chargesheeted last year under provisions of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act for his alleged involvement in a crime syndicate headed by his nephew Neeraj Bawana, who has been arrested.
The Compendium of Top Criminals in Delhi is being re-published in less than two months after the publication of the previous one, as some criminals have been caught. The Delhi police crime branch, entrusted with preparing the compendium, has added Shokeen’s name in the list.
The list of top criminals is prepared after a certain interval. While preparing the list of the city’s top criminals, records of criminal activities in various districts are examined. The criminals mentioned in the top list are involved in heinous crime like contract killings, extortion, kidnapping etc.
“Shokeen’s name was among a few added by the crime branch, the others were recommended for incorporation by the district deputy commissioners of police,” a senior official said.
“It was also necessary to re-publish the compendium because a few of the criminals listed in the previous one have been arrested. While the last one had a list of Top 10 criminals, it shall be extended to 22-25 in the new one,” he said.
The other criminals on the list include Tilu of outer Delhi, wanted in several cases including the murder of a police official in Alipur; Manjit Mahal; Shakti; Nafe Mantri and Ravinder Bholu, all key members of notorious gangs in southwest Delhi, and Hemant Pradhan, wanted for former MLA Bharat Singh’s murder.
This week, the fresh compendium will be distributed to all senior officials, in districts and special units, and police stations, the official added.
