How Delhi Police Foiled Attacks On Bollywood Actor, Businessman

Police say the arrests foiled planned extortion shootings against a Bollywood actor and a businessman and linked one suspect to the murder of influencer Mad Sandhu.

  • On Saturday, Delhi Police Special Cell arrested Vikas Thakur and Deep Singh in separate intelligence-led operations, thwarting extortion plots targeting a prominent Bollywood actor and a Delhi businessman.
  • Deputy Commissioner of Police Narra Chaitanya confirmed the suspects acted on instructions from a foreign-based gangster, with Vikas involved in conducting reconnaissance for extortion operations.
  • Police tracked Deep to Mumbai where he was allegedly hiding after the October 3 murder of Instagram influencer Mad Sandhu in Amritsar; associate Palwinder was previously arrested by Punjab Police.
  • The planned attack on the Bollywood actor was reportedly linked to the actor's alleged remarks concerning the 1984 anti-Sikh violence, police said.
  • Investigations revealed Vikas supplied illegal firearms to gangsters Anmol Bishnoi and Anil Pandit starting in 2023, after entering organized crime through illegal betting and snatching.
