Two members of the Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar-Virender Charan gang, allegedly tasked with eliminating stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqi, were arrested after a gunfight on Jaitpur-Kalindi Kunj Road on Thursday, police said.
Identified as Rahul and Sahil, the two hail from Panipat and Bhiwani of Haryana, respectively, they said.
According to investigators, both men had allegedly conducted reconnaissance in Mumbai and Bengaluru to track Faruqi’s movements and were on constant calls with foreign-based gangster Rohit Godara, who was working with Goldy Brar and Virender Charan, to kill Faruqi.
