New Delhi: Delhi's 'most wanted' gangster Neeraj Bawana, a feared criminal involved in more than 40 cases of murder and attempt to murder and extortion, was arrested in the wee hours on Tuesday after a brief encounter with Special Cell of Delhi Police in Qammaruddin Nagar locality.

27-year-old Bawana, whose real name is Neeraj Sehrawat, was arrested from main Rohtak Road around 3:45 AM when he was on his way to meet his family along with an associate Mohd Rashid Khan alias Guddu. Bawana was a 'ghostly figure' for police as neither he nor those around him used mobile phones to avoid tracking. He used Internet-based communication system and camouflaged his location, police said. Guddu, who was travelling with him in a car, was also arrested.
