New Delhi | A shocking case of alleged extortion and conspiracy to murder has surfaced in Delhi, where a woman and a man linked to the Gogi gang have been arrested for allegedly demanding ₹50 lakh from a businessman and plotting the murder of his mother-in-law.
According to Delhi Police, the accused have been identified as Sapna Jain, the wife of the complainant, and Rajat, a resident of Sonipat in Haryana, who is allegedly associated with the Gogi gang. Police said the arrests were made by the Special Cell following a detailed investigation into threatening calls and messages received by a Laxmi Nagar-based wholesale trader.

Investigators said that on June 14, the businessman received threatening calls and messages from an international number, in which the caller claimed to be a member of the Gogi gang and demanded ₹50 lakh as extortion money. The caller also reportedly sent photographs of the complainant’s house and shared location details, intensifying concerns about the credibility of the threat.
Based on the complaint, a case was registered at Laxmi Nagar police station, and the investigation was later transferred to the Special Cell for further probe. During technical surveillance and analysis of digital evidence, police allegedly uncovered communication between Rajat and Sapna Jain, including chats in which Sapna allegedly shared details of her home, photographs and location information.
Police said the investigation revealed that Sapna Jain was allegedly involved in a long-standing domestic dispute with her husband, which is also pending in court. The couple, married in 2006, has two children aged 17 and 15. Investigators suspect that the woman conspired with Rajat to pressure her husband, extract money and plan an attack on her mother-in-law.
During questioning, Rajat allegedly claimed links to gang networks, including individuals associated with jailed gangster Rohit Moi, and said that the extortion demand was made in the name of gangster Karmveer Pahalwan, who is reportedly based in the United States.
Police further alleged that Sapna Jain continuously shared sensitive information about her husband’s movements and residence with the accused. The plan, according to investigators, included extorting money from the businessman and orchestrating a targeted attack on his family members.
Officials said the accused were arrested after sufficient technical and digital evidence was gathered linking them to the extortion attempt and alleged conspiracy. Further investigation is underway to verify the extent of gang involvement, financial transactions, and whether more individuals were part of the plan.
Authorities are also examining the possibility of a wider criminal network using gang names and international numbers to carry out extortion threats and intimidation in similar cases.
