According to the police, on December 5, 2024, Kumar and Sanjeev launched a murderous attack on a rival gang member, Amit, son of Satyapal, a resident of Surani in Mahendragarh district. The assault occurred inside the premises of the Court in Narnaul. Following the attack, the accused kept changing locations in a bid to evade capture, successfully avoiding arrest for several months.

The STF Gurugram team continuously monitored the accused through technical surveillance as well as intelligence inputs.

This concerted effort led to the apprehension of the accused on November 9. Following their arrest, the accused were handed over to the STF unit in Bahadurgarh for further legal proceedings.

Sanjay alias Sanjeev has a criminal record, with around ten cases registered against him, while Naresh Kumar faces four charges. Both individuals are involved in serious offences, including organised crime, attempted murder and the illegal possession of weapons.
