Target minors, under the guise of gaming apps, criminal networks in India! Pak gangster’s conspiracy exposed

Pakistan’s notorious gangster Shahzad Bhatti is spreading the web of crime in India using online gaming apps. Such sensational information has emerged in the interrogation of three minors caught by the Delhi Police Special Cell.

According to police sources, multiple firearms including pistols were recovered from the arrested minors. Preliminary investigation revealed that the recovered pistols reached them through Shahzad’s circle. According to the investigators, the minors first met a young man from Punjab while playing online games. Later the young man put them in touch with a notorious gangster based in Pakistan. After that, the minors started to keep regular contact with Shahzad through social media and ‘encrypted messaging app’. According to a source in the investigators, Shahzad initially developed friendships with minors and youngsters on gaming apps. They were then assigned minor tasks, and gradually attempts were made to involve them in larger criminal activities.

Investigators fear that such networks may be used for arms supply and anti-national activities in the future. Firearms recovered from the arrested have been sent for forensic examination. Besides, how the weapons reached them is also being looked into.

Police also said that a youth from Punjab met a minor from Ghaziabad through online games. After playing games together for a long time, they grow close. Later the young man put him in touch with Shahzad. The Pak gangster then introduced the minor to two more members of his network. A pistol was then handed over to the minor. Naturally, concerns have arisen over the use of online gaming apps by criminal gangs operating across borders.
