A crime branch team of Mumbai police is in the national capital to interrogate six alleged members of the Chhota Shakeel gang nabbed by Delhi police, a senior police official said on Thursday.

"A crime branch team has gone to interrogate Shakeel's gang members arrested by Delhi police. We are regularly in touch with our counterparts," informed Additional Police Commissioner (Crime) Deven Bharti.

On June 4, Delhi police arrested six alleged sharp shooters of Shakeel gang and claimed they were planning to eliminate the lawyer of BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has been accused of making hatred speeches.

Shakeel is a lieutenant of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. The arrest of seven members in Mumbai and six shooters in Delhi has caused a major blow to Shakeel and his activities, an official said.

"Their (shooters held in Delhi) interrogation will enable us to know the network of the gang across the country and activities in the major cities," the official said adding that "we are also sharing the details we have with Delhi police."

Mumbai police had arrested seven alleged members of the gang, including two sharp shooters, Gurpreet Singh and Rashid Malbari, of the gang in May. While Bhullar was extradited from Bangkok on May 14, Rashid was brought from Karnataka on a transit remand on May 18.
