The officer was posted with a special cell in Delhi but had been a part of the gang allied with Delhi-based gangster Vikas Lagarpuria.

He was undergoing training at a training centre in Delhi and was recently promoted as well, according to the report.

Preet Pal Sangwan, the assistant commissioner of police (crime), the report added, said the ASI had confessed about being involved in several crimes including his connection with Lagarpuria and his gang, who was his village friend.
