By Zafar Abbas New Delhi, March 7 : Gangs of criminals consisting of Bangladeshi nationals and based in the national capital are rapidly spreading their tentacles. In the past few years, the gangs have gone from simple burglaries to more daring crimes like ATM theft, robberies and dacoities.
This syndicate of Bangladeshi gangs has now emerged as a new challenge for Delhi Police which has roped in its specialized units like Special Cell and Crime Branch to tackle the menace.
After committing the crime, the gang members sometimes flee to Bangladesh and return to India later when they believe “the dust has settled”.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has arrested three Bangladeshi nationals who were not just found involved in 18 cases of burglary in Delhi, Faridabad, Noida and Gurugram but were also wanted by the Uttar Pradesh Police in a case of dacoity in Kavi Nagar, Ghaziabad.
The members of this gang held a family hostage at gunpoint when they resisted the burglary attempt by the five members of the gang in the intervening night of February 27 and 28.
They held the man, his wife and their two sons at gunpoint and looted all the valuables. They also threatened to kill the family if they resisted.
