New Delhi, Nov 6, 2025: Delhi Police have arrested three alleged members of the notorious Nasir Gang, including two brothers of the jailed kingpin Abdul Nasir, marking a significant blow to the gang’s operations in the Trans-Yamuna region.

The arrests were made as part of an ongoing probe into a case registered under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in 2019. The three accused are Abdul Nasir’s brothers Adil and Shamim (alias Badar), both principal executors of the gang’s operations, and Saleem Ahmad (alias Pistol), a proclaimed international arms trafficker. Badar was arrested on June 27, Adil on July 2, and Saleem Pistol on September 22, police said.

With these arrests, Abdul Nasir, his three brothers—Adil, Nadir, and Shamim—and several key associates, including Danish Jamal, Asim (alias Hashim Baba), and Salman (alias Matu), are now in judicial custody.

Impact on Criminal Activities
According to Delhi Police, these actions have dismantled a significant portion of one of the capital’s most feared criminal networks, active for nearly a decade. Since the incarceration of key members, incidents of extortion, land grabbing, and targeted shootings across East Delhi and adjoining NCR areas have notably declined.

Saleem Ahmad, described as a major illegal arms supplier, not only facilitated the Nasir Gang’s operations but also supplied weapons to several other criminal syndicates in the region. His operations spanned international borders, including arms trafficking from Pakistan and Nepal. His arrest under MCOCA is seen as a critical disruption to the regional arms trafficking network that fuels gang wars in Delhi-NCR.

The arrest of Adil and Shamim has also significantly weakened the residual support structure of the gang. So far, six supplementary charge sheets have been filed in the case, with 15 members of the syndicate chargesheeted, and further investigation is ongoing.

Delhi Police said the operation demonstrates their continued focus on dismantling organised crime networks and curbing violent criminal activity in the national capital.
