The Delhi Police have thwarted a plot allegedly orchestrated by a foreign-based gangster to carry out a firing attack outside the residence of Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai. The alleged mastermind, reportedly speaking through Deepak Singh, intended to target the actor over remarks he made concerning the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
However, the actor has consistently denied making such statements. Two accused individuals, identified as Vikas Thakur alias Vicky and Deepak Singh alias Deep, were arrested by the Special Cell in separate intelligence-led operations in Delhi and Mumbai. Vikas, who was travelling from Mumbai to Delhi, was intercepted before the planned attack could be executed.
Deep, who had allegedly been involved in criminal activities prior to his arrest, was caught in Mumbai. Both individuals are accused of being part of an organised crime network, with Vikas allegedly supplying illegal firearms to gangster Anmol Bishnoi and Deep having worked as a truck helper before joining organised crime. A case under the Arms Act has been registered, and further investigation is ongoing.
