Delhi Police arrest Bobby Kabootar of Lawrence–Hashim Baba Gang

The Delhi Police Special Cell on Thursday arrested gangster Mahfooz alias Bobby Kabootar of the Lawrence Bishnoi–Hashim Baba gang, along with his girlfriend Khushnuma Ansari alias Neha.

Police said the arrest marks a significant development in their crackdown on the gang, particularly highlighting what officers describe as the increasing involvement of women within the network.

According to police, Bobby Kabootar had been on the run for the past seven years, repeatedly evading arrest.

During this period, Khushnuma Ansari allegedly helped him remain underground. Investigators say she assisted him in hiding and acted as a communication link between Bobby and other gang members.

Officials claim she played a key role in maintaining contact within the gang while Bobby was absconding. Both were arrested along with two other associates on Thursday.

Police allege that Bobby had conducted reconnaissance in the Sidhu Moosewala case. He is also accused of supplying foreign-made weapons to shooters involved in firing outside actor Disha Patani’s residence.

Investigators further claim that he was recently involved in two murder cases in Delhi.

Lawrence Bishnoi had years ago joined hands with Delhi-based gangster Hashim Baba to strengthen his network in the national capital, police said.

Officials noted that the growing use of women within the Lawrence gang is a significant shift in its operational strategy.

Further investigation is underway.
