New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
Four murder cases, a dozen gang members, Insta reels with guns and filmy dialogues – the prime accused in the midnight murder of Amazon manager Harpreet Gill is an 18-year-old like none other.<\/p>\n
The bio on his Instagram profile, with over 2,000 followers, reads, “Naam Badnaam, Pata Kabristan, Umra Jine Ki, Shauk Marne Ka — roughly meaning, “I am infamous, the graveyard is my address, It’s my age to live, but I wish to die”.<\/p>\n
On scrolling down, you find Mohammad Sameer alias Maya posing for photographs in flashy clothes and sporting long hair. The photos suggest his love to be clicked. So far, it’s a profile of a teen who loves to dress up and pose.<\/p>\n
But click on the highlights, and you are in for a shocker. One reel reads jail and captures several youngsters behind bars, another shows Maya posing with and firing guns. There is one which is captioned Maya Gang and shows about a dozen teenagers. This is not a random group of teenagers wanting to show off, but a gang that has terrorised Northeast Delhi, according to police.<\/p>\n
The gang calls its self “Maya Gang” after its leader. Maya and his 18-year-old associate Bilal Gani have been arrested in connection with the murder of Gill and police are looking for the other accused.<\/p>\n
Maya, who recently turned 18, was involved in at least four murders as a juvenile, police have found. His associate, Gani, turned 18 this Sunday and was involved in a murder and a robbery case last year. Gani was sent to a Children’s Observation home, but he managed to come out and had been working at a welding shop.<\/p>\n
While Harpreet died on the spot, his uncle Govind, 32, is fighting for his life after Maya allegedly shot them in the head.<\/p>\n
The shooting, police have found, was the fallout of a road rage incident.<\/p>\n
Around 10.30 pm on Tuesday, Harpreet and Govind were passing through a narrow lane on a bike, police have found. Accused Maya, Gani and their associates Sohail (23), Mohammad Junaid (23) and Adnan (19) were returning from a party on two scooters. The two-wheelers faced off in the narrow lane. An altercation began on who would give way. The argument snowballed into a fight that ended in Maya allegedly shooting Harpreet and Govind.<\/p>\n
The arrests were made after police scanned footage from a CCTV camera in the lane. The visuals show two accused, their faces covered, on a scooter.<\/p>\n
Police said efforts are being made to catch the other accused and further probe is on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
