Delhi man hired snatchers, thieves on salary, ran gang like a company

Wary of the dangers linked with street crimes, 47-year-old Nand Kishore alias Karate decided many years ago to elevate himself to the position of a ‘manager’ of a ‘company’ he founded, where he would ‘hire employees’ to indulge in these activities.

Karate hired snatchers and thieves, and paid them salaries, much like a private company.

He had recently decided to hand over the reins of his ‘company’ to his 22-year-old son, Subhash. The younger man was still in ‘training period’ when a police team from outer district arrested the father-son duo on Saturday.

Given the elaborate arrangement and the organised manner in which Karate ran his gang, the police are planning to also book the father and son under Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
