Deepak Pahal alias Deepak Boxer, one of Delhi's most dreaded gangsters, was brought to India on Wednesday following his arrest in Mexico.
The gangster was nabbed following a joint operation between a special Delhi Police team and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Deepak reportedly flew to Mexico on January 29 using a fake passport under the alias Ravi Antil. He had been on the run following the murder of a Delhi-based realtor, Amita Gupta, in August last year. His men reportedly gunned down the realtor at the Civil Lines area.
Claiming responsibility for the attack in a Facebook post, Deepak had said that the realtor was an associate of a rival gang. Following his arrest, the Delhi Police said there is no “bigger gangster in the Delhi NCR region.”
Here are six things to know about this gangster:
- Deepak, a resident of Sonipat in the Indian state of Haryana, started as a boxer and competed in several national-level championships before entering the world of crime. His alias Deepak Boxer comes from his association with the sport.
- Deepak reportedly left the ring after he came in contact with the Gogi gang run by Jitender Gogi in 2014.
- All eyes were on Deepak after he freed Jitender Gogi from police custody in 2016. Following Gogi's murder in 2021, he became the gang boss.
- Deepak Boxer also played a key role in the escape of gangster Fajja from police custody. Fajja was ultimately killed in a confrontation with police three days after the escape in 2021.
- After being on run for several months, Deepak fled India using a passport reportedly made in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. He travelled through several countries and finally reached Mexico in January-end.
- Deepak Boxer was reportedly planning to run the operations of his gang from the US. He was also helped by his California-based cousin to reach Mexico.
