Sonipat: A member of the Bambiha gang, Deepak ‘Jaito’ Maan, was killed in a shootout recently (October 1) and it was done at the behest of Monu Dagar, a member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, currently lodged in a Punjab jail, claimed Sonipat police in Haryana on Saturday. Jailed gangster Monu Dagar sent four hitmen Ojasav, Chetan, Manjit and Jasbir to eliminate gangster Deepak Maan. Following a Kharkhoda court's order to send the four arrested accused in judicial custody, the Sonipat police sought custody of the accused for interrogation.

The four shooters also struck a deal and took money (supari) to carry out the killing. The police said that more revelations will come after interrogating jailed gangster Monu Dagar and his associates.
