New Delhi, May 3 (IANS) In a major crackdown on criminals, the Dwarka District Police on Wednesday conducted raids at multiple locations in Delhi and Haryana and arrested six people while detained 20 persons in search of associates of gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu, an official said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harhsa Vardhan said that 21 teams comprising 300 police personnel conducted simultaneous searches at 15 locations in Delhi and six in Haryana.

"We have detained 20 people and arrested six for various offences under the Arms Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) based on the recovery during the raids and searches," said the DCP.

The arrested accused were identified as Nitin Narulla, Nikhil, Rajpal alias Raju Gahlot, Deepak - all residents of Delhi - Mohit and Jitender Dahiya, both residents of Haryana. Deepak, Nikhil and Nitin were found involved in other criminal cases as well.

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.
