Delhi Police arrested 30-year-old alleged gang leader Prakash (also known as Akash or Chinu) after a dramatic shootout near the Shadipur flyover.
Prakash tried to escape and fired at officers, but was shot in the leg and caught.
He was carrying an illegal pistol and had been on the run for his role in a violent gang clash earlier this year.
Prakash accused of murder and extortion
Prakash leads the Chinu gang and has a history of serious crimes, including murder, extortion, and even assaulting a rival gang member's relative.
His capture is part of an ongoing police crackdown on gangs in Sadar Bazar, Nabi Karim, and Paharganj, areas that have seen repeated violence.
Police say they are stepping up efforts to break up these criminal networks for good.
