Munna Bajrangi's accomplice arrested in Varanasi
Varanasi, Nov 3: An accomplice of gangster Munna Bajrangi was arrested by a team of Delhi Police here Tuesday evening, police sources said.
Meraj Ahmed was picked up from his house in Jaitpura area of the city by a team of Delhi Police's special cell.
A special team of Delhi police, in co-ordination with their Mumbai counterparts, nabbed Bajrangi from near Siddhivinayak Tower in suburban Malad area of Mumbai Oct 30. Bajrangi has over 50 cases against him, including those of murder, kidnapping and extortion and carried a cash reward of Rs.11 lakh (Rs.1.1 million) on his head.
However, police officials refused to comment on Ahmed's arrest.
"He (Ahmed) is a close aide of jailed don (and legislator from Mau district Mukhtar Ansari) and equally close to Bajrangi. He has also contested the last assembly elections as an Independent candidate from Varanasi and has nearly a dozen criminal cases lodged against him in various police stations of the city," an inspector of the Jaitpura police station told IANS, declining to be named.
