Ranchi: In a major breakthrough against organized crime, Ranchi Police have uncovered a dangerous alliance between two notorious criminal gangs led by Prince Khan and Sujit Sinha, who have joined forces to extort money from local businessmen and entrepreneurs through threats and intimidation.
Acting on the instructions of SSP Rakesh Ranjan, a special investigation team arrested four individuals: Bablu Khan, a resident of Kanke, and Mohammad Shahid, Mohammad Seraj, and Ravi Anand from Pandara. Police also recovered firearms and a vehicle from the accused.
The gang had been operating under the banner of the so-called Koylanchal Shanti Sena, using the name to call and threaten prominent traders in the city for extortion. The arrests come after weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering.
During interrogation, the accused revealed that the seized weapons and ammunition were smuggled into India from Pakistan via drones through Moga in Punjab. These arms were being used to spread fear among wealthy business figures in Ranchi and other parts of India, as part of a broader extortion racket.
Police sources confirmed that Inamul Haq, also known as Bablu Khan, acted as a key local enforcer for the gang, collecting extortion money on behalf of Prince Khan and Sujit Sinha. The collected funds were reportedly routed through Sujit Sinha’s network and delivered to Prince Khan, who then transferred the money to Pakistan via the UAE.
This money was allegedly used by Pakistani operatives to purchase illegal weapons and fund other illicit activities — pointing to a well-organized international crime syndicate.
Police further stated that the weapons used in the recent firing incident outside Satyabhama Apartment in Doranda police station area were also supplied by these arrested individuals.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are tightening surveillance to dismantle this transnational criminal network. Ranchi Police have assured strict action and deeper probe into the international links, especially concerning cross-border drone operations and illegal arms trafficking.
