“Amit was escorted directly to the wedding venue, and to maintain law and order, heavy police security was arranged,” the agency quoted sources as saying, adding that several teams were deployed to avoid any untoward incident.

Amit is believed to have taken over the operations of the gang following the death of Sunil Balyan alias Tillu Tajpuriya, who was killed inside Tihar Jail in May 2023, allegedly by members of rival Gogi gang.

Amit has been charged with several crimes, including charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), with the Delhi Police once announcing a reward of ₹2 lakh for information leading to his arrest.

He has also been named in a murder case in Alipur area of the capital, said to be a revenge killing for Tillu Tajpuriya's death and the 2018 murder of Gogi's close aide Monu Nepali near Rohini court.
