At least 14 criminals have been arrested in the Baghpat in last one week. Crackdown on these criminals started soon after the murder of a senior BJP functionary over personal enmity.

Former BJP district unit president Sanjay Khokhar was shot dead near his house when he was out on a morning walk on August 11.

Among the arrested was Badal Singh, 35, a sharpshooter of jailed gangster Sunil Rathi. Singh was carrying a reward of Rs. 50,000.

Before him, Pawan Tyagi, another wanted criminal with more than 30 cases of loot, robbery, murder and extortion was arrested after an encounter.

He was injured and taken to Baraut primary health centre. Newly appointed SP Abhishek Singh said, “Apart from keeping pressure on the criminals, we are also identifying those involved in sinister activities like liquor smuggling.”
