Gangster caught by police using fake social media profile

A gangster was arrested after a Delhi Police officer lured him through a fake social media profile posing as a Mumbai-based model, an official said on Friday.

The accused, Manoj, a life convict and repeat parole-jumper, promised to meet the officer in South Delhi, from where he was arrested.

“Manoj, a member of the Gogi gang and a close associate of Deepak, was wanted in multiple cases across Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan, including murder, kidnapping and armed robbery,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP)(Crime) Aditya Gautam said in a statement.
