Delhi Police on Sunday arrested five Haryana-based sharpshooters of the gangsters Kala Jathedi and Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, officials said. The arrests come days ahead of the scheduled marriage ceremony of gangster Kala Jathedi with ‘history-sheeter’ Anuradha Choudhary alias ‘Madam Minz’ on March 12.
The Special Cell of the Delhi Police foiled the plan of the sharpshooters to kill rival gangsters. Notably, the wedding is scheduled to take place in Delhi’s Dwarka area.

The sophisticated weapons recovered from the possession of the arrested sharpshooters include a PX-30 made in China, a P-Beretta made in Italy, and 32 pistols.
Sources told India Today TV that Sandeep alias ‘Kala Jathedi’, had been brutally attacked while he was lodged in Rohtak jail. In retaliation, he recruited new members and orchestrated a plan to eliminate a rival gang member.
The marriage will witness the deployment of 250 policemen along with SWAT (Special Weapons and Techniques) commandoes carrying hi-tech weapons. The police personnel will include teams of special cell, crime branch and Haryana’s CIA (crime investigation agency), news agency PTI reported.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police is currently conducting further investigations to ascertain whether the five sharpshooters were in the Dwarka area to attend the wedding of Kala Jathedi or were planning to participate in the celebration as part of the wedding procession.
Jathedi fled once from the custody of Haryana Police and also orchestrated the escape of his associate from the custody of Delhi Police.
Jathedi from Haryana’s Sonipat got a parole of six hours for his marriage by a Delhi court. Similarly, Anuradha Choudhary also faces several criminal charges. Jathedi is currently lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail.
For his marriage, Jathedi will be escorted with a large number of Delhi Police personnel from Third Battalion unit, which is entrusted for taking a prisoner out of jail and go back to the prison.
Jathedi is a close associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and is facing over a dozen cases of robbery, murders, attempt to murder, extortions and arms Act in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
