The Faridabad police have nabbed two sharpshooters of Uttar Pradesh’s Hitler gang, who were in the city to eliminate two members of Kaushal gang.

A Swift car, Apache bike, a revolver, a country-made pistol, cartridges and a mobile phone were recovered from their possession. The police said both the shooters were hired by gangster Manoj of Mangaria and Ravi of Mujedi for contract killing.

The kingpin of the Hitler gang, Mohit, alias Hitler, is a wanted criminal and carries a reward of Rs 50,000 on his head. He had shot dead two property dealers in UP’s Bulandshahar a few days ago.

Acting on a tip-off, Sector 30 in charge Inspector Vimal Kumar on Wednesday conducted a raid in the Surajkund area and nabbed the duo, who were carrying weapons with them.

The accused were identified as Gaurav of Bulandshahar and Rohit, alias Badel, Aligarh in UP. An FIR of carrying illegal arms was registered against them at Surjkund police station.

During interrogation, the accused revealed that they were called by Manoj a few days ago. Manoj and Ravi provided them a flat in the Green Field area and in return, the latter gave them a contract for eliminating two persons. They were doing a recee in the area on a bike and car, but were nabbed by the police before they could succeed. Though the police have not officially confirmed yet but highly placed sources revealed that they had taken a contract to eliminate gangster Tek Chand and Narender, alias Ninder, who are close aides of Kaushal. Tek Chand had played important role in the murder of Faridabad Youth Congress leader Vikas Chaudhary and Ninder is a relative of gangster Ranvir Bhati.

“The accused were produced in a court on Thursday and taken them on two-day police remand for questioning. Now we are conducting raids to nab gangster Hitler, Manoj and Ravi,” said Anil Yadav, ACP (Crime), Faridabad.
