New Delhi: Believe it or not, the prime accused in the midnight murder of Amazon manager Harpreet Gill is an 18-year-old who has four murder cases against him and leads a dozen gang members.
The bio on his Instagram profile, king_maya_302 with over 2,000 followers, reads, “Naam badnaam, pata Kabristan, umra jeene ki, shauk marne ka — “I am infamous, the graveyard is my address, It’s my age to live, but I wish to die”.
Beneath the photos in flashy clothes and long hair are the highlights. One reel captioned “jail” captures several youngsters behind bars, another shows Maya posing with and firing guns. There is one which is captioned “Maya Gang” and shows about a dozen teenagers. The gang has terrorised Northeast Delhi, according to police.
Maya and his 18-year-old associate Bilal Gani have been arrested in connection with the murder of Gill and police are looking for the other accused, NDTV reported.
Maya, who recently turned 18, was involved in at least four murders as a juvenile, police have found. His associate, Gani, turned 18 this Sunday and was involved in a murder and a robbery case last year. Gani was sent to a Children’s Observation home, but he managed to come out and had been working at a welding shop.
While Harpreet died on the spot, his uncle Govind, 32, is fighting for his life after Maya allegedly shot them in the head.
The shooting was the fallout of a road rage incident. Around 10.30 pm on Tuesday, Harpreet and Govind were passing through a narrow lane on a bike, police have found. Accused Maya, Gani and their associates Sohail (23), Mohammad Junaid (23) and Adnan (19) were returning from a party on two scooters. The two-wheelers faced off in the narrow lane. An altercation began on who would give way. The argument snowballed into a fight that ended in Maya allegedly shooting Harpreet and Govind.
The arrests were made after police scanned footage from a CCTV camera in the lane. The visuals show two accused, their faces covered, on a scooter. Police said efforts are being made to catch the other accused and further probe is on, the report added.
