Ahmedabad, Feb 10 (NationPress) The Ahmedabad Crime Branch has successfully apprehended two fugitives from Kota, Rajasthan, following a meticulous seven-hour operation, thwarting their plans to establish a criminal network within the city.
The individuals, connected to organized crime syndicates active across Rajasthan and beyond, were identified as Aman, known as Baccha (Ehsan Ali Sayyed), aged 25, residing in Bakra Mandi, and Suheb, referred to as Chintu (Firoz Khan Pathan), aged 26, hailing from Patanpol, Kota, according to police reports released on Tuesday.
Both men possess a history of violent crime, with over 20 serious charges recorded in Rajasthan, including organized extortion, attempted murder, targeted shootings, and violations of the Arms Act, officials noted.
An official informed IANS, "We apprehended both suspects on the Vejalpur-Vasna road in Ahmedabad. They had traveled here to establish their network due to challenges they faced in Rajasthan. They had also procured a vehicle, suggesting possible involvement from local accomplices. Ongoing questioning will reveal details about their intended activities and contacts. Aman Baccha is particularly infamous, with numerous offenses attributed to him."
The Crime Branch revealed that intelligence reports indicated the duo had connections with associates of a larger organized crime network associated with Rohit Godara, who has been implicated in various extortion and threat cases in Rajasthan.
Previous operations by Rajasthan Police have targeted gangs tied to both the Godara network and the extensive Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate, which is under thorough investigation for inter-state extortion and violent offenses.
Law enforcement officials stated that the suspects were detained following an extended chase, successfully taking them into custody before they could commit any crimes in Ahmedabad.
"This operation was based on precise human intelligence, and the vigilance of our team ensured their swift arrest," the official added.
The Ahmedabad Crime Branch is collaborating closely with the Rajasthan Police. After completing legal procedures in Gujarat, the suspects will be transferred to the Kota Police for further investigation and legal action.
