A dramatic police encounter unfolded as four members of the self-proclaimed 'Sigma & Company' gang were killed, ending a trail of violence across Bihar and Delhi. The gang, having publicized their vigilantism online, circulated provocative notes justifying their brutal campaigns as acts of justice.
The gang, led by the feared Ranjan Pathak, eluded authorities for months by cunningly utilizing Wi-Fi hotspots for communication, thus evading standard tracking methods. Police confirmed that this tech-savvy approach allowed them to execute crimes untraced, reminiscent of tactics used by infamous gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Rohit Godara.
With crimes spanning murder and extortion, the gang's final face-off in Rohini sees its end. Police had been on high alert ever since they released details of former Brahmarshi Sena chief Ram Manohar Sharma's murder motivations, aiming to create a legacy of fear on social media.
