NOB- Delhi news: The Delhi Police Crime Branch on 06.07.2025 arrested suspected serial killer Ajay Lamba near India Gate. Lamba, who has been evading arrest for a decade, is accused of leading a gang responsible for the brutal murders of multiple cab drivers across Delhi and Uttarakhand. According to the police, Lamba and his three associates targeted taxi drivers by posing as customers. After booking rides, they would lure the unsuspecting drivers to remote areas in the hills of Uttarakhand. In the hills, the gang would beat drivers to unconscious, strangle them to death and dump their bodies in deep ravines. The stolen vehicles were smuggled into Nepal and sold. Authorities have recovered one body, while the remains of at least three victims are yet to be found. Authorities fear that the gang may be behind the disappearance of several cab drivers in the past few years. Police said Lamba had been hiding in Nepal for the past 10 years. Apart from killing cab drivers, Lamba had a record of drug trafficking and extortion in both Delhi and Odisha. He is said to have been active in criminal activities since 2001. One of his associates, Dhirendra Dilip Pandey, has already been arrested, while another gang member, Dhiraj, is absconding. Police said that an investigation is underway and Ajay Lamba is currently being questioned by the authorities.
