New Delhi, July 29: A member of the Gogi gang, which was involved in the recent killing of its rival Tillu Tajpuriya in Delhi's Tihar jail, was arrested by Delhi Police on Friday.
The gang is led by gangster Jitender Gogi.
Furthermore, the Special Staff of Delhi Police, Outer North District (OND), received a tip-off about a member of the Gogi gang on July 28.

A team of Delhi policemen arrived at Gas Agency, DSIDC on the highway connecting Lal Flats to Bawana, Delhi, and laid a trap to capture the gang member.
