Delhi police announced the arrest of two men suspected of planning a shooting attack on a well‑known Bollywood actor and a Delhi businessman. The suspects, identified as Deepak Singh and Vikas Thakur, were seized after investigators traced the plot to a foreign gangster’s network operating in the capital.

Authorities said the businessmen targeted by the plot had been receiving extortion demands, prompting the conspirators to plan the violent act. The police have confiscated the weapons and are continuing to probe the wider criminal network involved.
The arrests underscore Delhi’s intensified efforts to curb organized crime and protect high‑profile individuals from targeted violence.
