Tension gripped Patna as police unveiled the arrest of Rajiv Gop, a name synonymous with Bihar’s criminal underbelly. Holed up in Mokama, this syndicate operative faces 22 registered crimes including slayings, heists, extortions, and abductions—all at a single outpost.
Fresh off a Republic Day shakedown, Gop cornered Siddarth ‘Sidhu’ of Moldiyar Tola for Rs 25,000. Resistance met fists and fatality warnings. Mother Ranjana Kumari’s FIR mobilized forces.
Per Floods SDPO-1 Anand Kumar Singh, a crack unit led by SHO Kunal Kumar used tips to raid at crack of dawn. Two hours of pursuit yielded Gop. Political strings tie him to Lallu Mukhiya, ex-RJD Barh aspirant (Karnvir Yadav), aiding in bid riggings and felonies.
Gop’s portfolio screams organized menace: IPC murders, kidnaps for cash, non-bailable chases. Capture fractures the group.
Inter-station memos ensure multi-case prosecutions. Network scrutiny intensifies. ‘Extortion empires crumble here,’ declares SDPO Singh. Bihar’s offensive against gangs promises iron-fisted justice, heralding secure communities.
