Two accused have been arrested in an encounter with the Delhi Police over the Air India crew member, Suraj Mann’s, murder case. So far, four accused have been caught in the daylight murder of Suraj. The accused have been identified as Abdul Kadir and Kuldeep and are said to be members of the Kapil Kallu gang.

Suraj Mann was the brother of gangster Parvesh Mann, who had a long-standing rivalry with gangster Kapil Mann alias Kallu. According to the initial probe into Suraj Mann's shooting, he was killed by Kapil's gang as revenge for his father's murder.

In an encounter with the cops at the Sarai Kale Khan bus stand in Delhi, the suspects sustained gunshot wounds in their legs. There were 6 rounds of firing. Abdul Kadir is a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor, while Kuldeep is from Bhajanpura in Delhi.

The rivalry between Parvesh and Kapil stems from a land dispute from 15 years ago. The dispute between their families has allegedly led to a series of violent incidents resulting in the death of several family members.

The long-standing enmity between warring gangs has so far claimed the lives of five members from both sides of the families.

Earlier, two arrests were made in the case, and the two were identified as Dheeraj Mann, brother of Kapil, and Arun alias Mannu Mann.
