The Delhi police said on Thursday it has arrested two notorious criminals who have links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Kartik Jakhar and Kavish, who allegedly worked for foreign-based gangsters, Harry Boxer and Rohit Godara, were arrested after an encounter with Delhi Police's Special Cell here, officials said on Thursday.
The police say both Boxer, who was recently in the news for threatening comedian Kapil Sharma, and Godara are linked with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Acting on a tip-off that Jakhar and Kavish were planning to commit a crime in the city, police said they laid a trap and arrested them following an encounter in east Delhi's New Ashok Nagar late on Wednesday night that left one of the criminals injured.
One of the accused sustained a bullet injury in his leg during the exchange of fire, police informed.
"Both are hardcore criminals and have been involved in multiple extortion call cases in Delhi recently," an officer said.
