Gangster Sachin's Wife Extradited from Russia, Arrested by STF
In a major breakthrough against organized crime, the Special Task Force (STF) of Ambala has successfully extradited and arrested Mamta Rani, the wife of gangster Sachin, from Russia. Mamta Rani, a resident of Dhanora village in Karnal district, was accused of providing financial and logistical support to facilitate her husband's gang's criminal operations in India.
Sachin is allegedly an active member of the Monu Gujjar and Noni Rana gang. Mamta Rani was wanted in connection with a case registered by the STF at Chhappar Police Station in Yamunanagar district on March 15, 2026, under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act.
According to the STF, several gang members had already been arrested in this case, and a large number of illegal weapons were recovered from them. During the investigation, police uncovered a conspiracy to murder a car sale-purchase businessman from Yamunanagar.
DSP Ambala STF, Aman Kumar, stated that the investigation revealed Mamta's involvement in the criminal network. "She was actively assisting the gang by providing financial and logistical support," he added.
Her husband, Sachin, has been residing in Russia for an extended period and is associated with a notorious criminal syndicate. Police believe that Sachin has been playing a key role in coordinating gang operations and financial transactions from abroad. After the FIR was registered, Mamta fled to Russia the next day to evade arrest.
"The STF continued its pursuit through sustained technical surveillance, intelligence gathering, and extensive investigation. Based on these efforts, the STF managed to secure her return from Russia and subsequently arrested her," the DSP said.
He emphasized that her arrest is a major achievement in dismantling the financial and logistical support network of the gang. "Her arrest is part of the Haryana police campaign against gangsters operating from foreign countries and their support networks," he said.
"STF Haryana is committed to bringing every criminal involved in organized crime behind bars. Strict action will continue against criminal networks operating from foreign countries and against their financial sources," he added.
