New Delhi, Oct 2 (PTI) Two members of the Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar-Virender Charan gang, allegedly tasked with eliminating a social media influencer, were arrested after a gunfight on Jaitpur-Kalindi Kunj Road here on Thursday morning, police said.

Identified as Rahul and Sahil, the two hail from Panipat and Bhiwani of Haryana, they said.

According to investigators, both men had been taking instructions from foreign-based gangster Rohit Godara, who was working with Goldy Brar and Virender Charan, to eliminate a social media influencer.
