Delhi Police arrests man linked to Bishnoi-Malik gang
The complainant approached the police alleging that he had received calls and messages from a person claiming to be Randeep Malik of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang
On August 22, 2026, the Crime Branch of Delhi Police apprehended a 40-year-old man named Amarjeet, also known as Amar, in connection with a ₹2 crore extortion case linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Randeep Malik gang, according to an official. Amarjeet was apprehended in the Rani Bagh area following extensive surveillance. The case originated when a complainant reported receiving threatening calls and messages from someone claiming to be Randeep Malik of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in April, demanding the ransom and threatening harm to the complainant and his family.
The complainant provided police with correspondence and messages. Amarjeet was previously on the run and has now been formally arrested. The police uncovered his alleged ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi and Randeep Malik gangs, as well as his role in identifying a potential extortion target. The demand was backed by a cryptocurrency payment link.
Amarjeet, a Trinagar resident, had previously been involved in illicit liquor trade before going into hiding after the extortion case was registered.
