Delhi Police have arrested Sumit Rana, a 38-year-old proclaimed offender, in connection with the murder of national-level boxing champion Vikas Bhinda, who was shot dead on July 29, 2025, in the Baba Haridas Nagar area of Delhi. Rana, a resident of Siraspur, had been evading arrest since being declared a proclaimed offender by a Delhi court on October 18, 2025. The police reported that the murder involved four assailants, including Rana, who aimed to eliminate Bhinda to assert dominance in the area and facilitate extortion from local businessmen. The police had previously arrested alleged gang leader Vikas Dahiya and another accomplice, but Rana managed to escape before a raid in April 2026. His arrest was made possible through a well-coordinated operation based on credible intelligence.
