Acting on a tip-off that the gangster brothers Sushant and Sushil Dhala Samanta were operating their crime syndicate from jail, the police conducted the raid.

The raid was going on till the report was filed and the details are awaited.

In August, police had arrested two associates of the gangster brothers, Sasikanta Khandai alias Danny of Kaligali and Ranjit Singh alias Rania of Hasinabad in Chandini Chowk. They had seized two country-made guns, 69 rounds of live bullets and three magazines from the possession of the gangsters.
