Violent History and Ongoing Investigations
The current case stems from a violent incident on February 21, 2024, when members of rival gangs engaged in a violent clash in Nava Mohalla. During the confrontation, gunshots were fired by one group, resulting in Shubham Mota and his aide Nadeem sustaining bullet injuries.
When questioned about whether the accused could be classified as gangsters, Police Commissioner Sharma clarified: "They are just local criminals who fight and attack each other for fame. Police have apprehended six accused as of now, and raids are being conducted to arrest the remaining accused."
The police continue their investigation and search operations to apprehend all individuals involved in this disturbing case that highlights the intersection of crime and political connections in the region.
