Police have also seized a bullet proof Fortuner car, three pistols with seven bullets, Rs 20 lakh cash, 22.4 grams heroin and 73 grams amphetamine from various locations.
As per police, the action comes after six people, including two juveniles, were apprehended in connection with the killing of Surender Matiala, Delhi BJP Kisan Morcha leader in Dwarka's Bindapur. One of the two shooters, arrested from Chandigarh, was associated with the Kapil Sangwan gang.
It is suspected that Sangwan, who has been declared a proclaimed offender and is currently hiding abroad, to increase his presence in the area and revive his dwindling group had killed Matiala through his gang members.
The official said that the raids targeted Kapil Sangwan's gang and his associates and in Haryana, police raided the hideouts of the gangster and his associates in Jhajjar, Sonipat, Bahadurgarh and Mahendragarh.
During a meeting with Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav and other officers, who called on him at his official residence here, Mann said that gangsters and drug peddlers were patronised by the previous governments.
The accused were identified as Neelam (35), Sunita (35), Neeta (34) and Savitri (34). DCP (Dwarka) M. Harsh Wardhan said the staff of Anti-Narcotics Cell received a secret information that some women sell drugs at Indira market near Anaj Mandi, Najafgarh.
According to the official, the main accused, Abhishek Chhabra was running the fake call-centre for the last one month. The victims of the scam are mainly the people residing in the foreign countries.
13 people have been arrested in the case so far after the first arrest was made on May 30, a day after the murder of Moosewala. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, who is a member of the Bishnoi gang, had claimed responsibility for Moosewala's murder.

A team from GRR was dispatched immediately and the patient's delivery was taken care of, reads the statement issued by the hospital.
