Plot to kill Varun Gandhi's lawyer
A plot to assassinate a senior lawyer defending BJP MP Varun Gandhi in the inflammatory speech case has been exposed.
The Delhi police has arrested six sharpshooters of Chhota Shakeel -- a key aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim -- on Saturday from different parts of Delhi.
The police added that some "VVIPs were on the gangsters' hit list."
"All the six work for Chhota Shakeel, who works for Dawood Ibrahim. They were planning to target some VVIPs in the national capital," Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) PN Aggarwal said.
"We have just arrested them and will interrogate them about their purpose and targets in the capital," he added.
Aggarwal, however, refused to divulge the identity of those arrested. He also refused to divulge if any weapons were recovered from them.
Delhi Police's Special Cell, which arrested the accused, produced the six before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja who sent them to police custody for seven days.
