Anandpal partner Anuradha Chaudhary held in Delhi with a fugitive | Jaipur News
NEW DELHI/JAIPUR: A day after the arrest of gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, Delhi Police announced on Saturday that it had arrested his woman accomplice too. While Jathedi carried a bounty of Rs 6 lakh for his capture, Ajmer Police had announced a Rs 10,000 reward for the apprehension of Anuradha Chaudhary alias Madam Minz for her alleged involvement in three cases of extortion and possession of firearms in Nagaur district of Rajasthan.
Sandeep, 37, belongs to Jathedi village in Haryana’s Sonipat while Chaudhary, 37, is a native of Sikar in Rajasthan. Chaudhary was earlier an associate of the slain interstate gangster, Anandpal Singh, but on his death in an encounter in 2017, had joined the Lawrence Bishnoi-Jathedi faction, police said.
The woman gangster, the cops claimed, was synonymous with terror in the business communities of Nagaur, Sikar, Didwana and other places. She is known to have fired from an AK-47 rifle as a tactic for intimidating her victims. Chaudhary is implicated in 12 criminal involvements in Rajasthan. Two cases were filed against her in Nagaur’s Kuchaman City police station in August 2020 and January this year and the third at Gotan police station, also in January.
“We are sending a team to New Delhi to interrogate Chaudhary in these cases,” said S Sengathir, Ajmer range IG, on Saturday. Sikar police revealed that the woman, who claimed to have an MBA and MPhil degrees and once worked with a brokerage firm, had jumped bail last August.
According to Delhi Police special commissioner Neeraj Thakur, after Chaudhary joined him, they got fake identities made as husband-wife and constantly shifted bases across different states to evade detection by police. Jathedi hadn’t fled the country as was believed earlier, but the story of his flight from India was created by his syndicate after his escape from police custody in Faridabad last year.
Jathedi grew a beard, wore a turban and went around in the guise of a Sikh. Using an international number for encrypted internet chat platforms, Jathedi tried to create the impression that he was in Dubai and Bangkok. However, his cover was blown when his accomplices were arrested and interrogated.
Thakur said, “A team led by DCP Manishi Chandra and inspector Vikram Dahiya first traced Jathedi to Goa and then to MP, Bihar, UP, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Uttarakhand.” The pursuers finally got footage showing the gangster in Chaudhary’s company. On July 30, he was apprehended at the toll plaza in Saharanpur. A PX-3 pistol and a 0.38 bore revolver were recovered from him.
