New Delhi: In a major crackdown on organised crime networks, the Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested alleged gangster Khusnuma Ansari, also known as Neha and infamously referred to as ‘Madam Zehar’, along with her associate and partner Mehfooz alias Bobby Kabootar. The arrests were made in Mahipalpur, near Gurugram in Haryana, officials confirmed.
Police said Neha was linked to the criminal networks of Lawrence Bishnoi and Hashim Baba. Two other associates of Bobby Kabootar, Mohammed Razi Khan and Shahbaz, were also taken into custody during the operation.
Alleged Role in High-Profile Criminal Cases
According to investigators, Bobby Kabootar is suspected of having shared movement-related information about slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala before his murder. Police sources further allege that he was involved in supplying weapons used in a firing incident targeting the residence of Bollywood actress Disha Patani.
Officials claim that the weapons used in the shooting were sourced from abroad. Bobby Kabootar had reportedly been on the Delhi Police’s wanted list for nearly a decade and had evaded arrest despite multiple raids.
He is also accused in connection with a double murder case in Seelampur and the killing of Nadir Shah outside a gym in Greater Kailash, police added.

Drug Trafficking and Beauty Parlour Front
Neha, who allegedly ran a beauty parlour in North East Delhi, has been arrested on charges related to drug trafficking and involvement in gang-linked illegal activities. Police confirmed that narcotics were seized during the operation.
Investigators believe the beauty parlour served as a front while she allegedly operated within the gang underworld as ‘Madam Zehar’. Authorities are now probing the financial and logistical links between the accused and organised crime syndicates operating in Delhi and neighbouring states.
Probe Expands Into Gang Network
The Special Cell is conducting further interrogation to uncover the broader network and trace possible arms supply routes. Officials said additional arrests may follow as the investigation progresses.
