In a massive operation against notorious criminal gangs, the Delhi Police carried out raids at 58 locations across the Delhi-NCR region on Wednesday night, officials said on Thursday.
Officials said over 40 teams from the Outer North District Police were deployed to conduct the raids on multiple hideouts of dreaded gangs, including the Tillu Tajpuria gang, the Neeraj Bawana–Rajesh Bawana gang, the Jitendra alias Gogi gang, and the Kala Jatheri gang.

Special Commissioner of Law and Order Ravindra Yadav said the operations were conducted to dismantle the growing networks of these gangs in and around the Delhi-NCR region and assured that similar actions will continue in the future.
The latest raids came on the heels of the crackdown on the Kapil Sangwan and Vicky Takkar gangs in Dwarka, where 26 members were detained, including six who were formally arrested.
The Tillu Tajpuria, Neeraj-Rajesh Bawana, Jitendra Gogi, Kala Jatheri, and other notorious gangs have long been active in the region and were involved in murder, extortion, ransom, and arms smuggling.
“As frequent inter-gang rivalry leads to a rising number of crimes, the police undertook the operation to curb their nefarious activities,” the officer said.
“No criminals will be spared, as the Delhi Police are periodically carrying out large-scale operations to make the region free of crime. Recent raids have weakened the networks of many gangsters, and such operations will continue,” he added.
