NEW DELHI: Delhi Police arrested two operatives linked to Pakistan-based ISI proxy Shahzad Bhatti, who were involved in a criminal conspiracy to execute target killings and firing incidents in the Delhi-NCR region, according to news agency ANI. According to a statement by the police, the two accused, identified as Rajveer and Vivek Vanjara. The Special Cell had received intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based gangster Shahzad Bhatti and other ISI proxies, in collusion with certain India-based accomplices, were hatching a criminal conspiracy to execute grenade attacks and target killings in the Delhi-NCR region. Accordingly, an FIR was filed on March 31, under Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). One of the accused, Vivek Banjara, was traced to Dabra in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior. He was arrested on April 16 and remanded into police custody for five days. Interrogation of Vivek Banjara led to the arrest of the main accused, Rajveer, on April 18 in the Sarai Kale Khan area. He was allegedly preparing to fire upon a prominent hotel in the Delhi-NCR region. Delhi Police also seized one pistol and six live rounds, along with two mobile phones containing incriminating videos and voice notes. Investigation revealed that Rajveer was recruited on social media by one ‘Rana Bhai’, an associate of Shahzad Bhatti. Later, Rajveer introduced Vivek Banjara to ‘Rana Bhai’ and Shahzad Bhatti. In March 2026, Shahzad Bhatti allegedly directed Rajveer to send someone to Ahmedabad to collect weapons. Rajveer sent Vivek to Ahmedabad; however, the delivery could not materialise. Bhatti arranged Rs 5,000 for Vivek’s stay in Ahmedabad, the police statement said. On April 9, as directed by Shahzad Bhatti, Rajveer and Vivek Banjara went to Amritsar and received one pistol, 15–20 live rounds and Rs 20,000 from a location. This weapon was delivered to Rajveer to fire upon a club in Zirakpur, SAS Nagar. The club had received extortion threats from Shahzad Bhatti. On April 11, Rajveer could not open fire at the club due to a mechanical issue with the pistol. Meanwhile, Vivek recorded a video of the incident to send it to Shahzad Bhatti.
