"We arrested Lama from a public booth in Ranjeet Nagar where he had gone to make a call. He came to Delhi a few days ago and was living in Majnu ka Tila," said Alok Kumar, DCP (Special Cell). Lama started off as a regular gambler and was a frequent at casinos in Nepal. When he fell short of money he formed a gang with five other school friends. The group started working under the name of "International Black Spider Group." They started threatening affluent doctors, hospital owners and businessmen both in India and Nepal.
While Lama made threat calls to businessmen from public booths, his other associates Sudhir Thapa, Ganesh Kharki, Akash Kedar, Ganesh Lama and Santosh collected the money from their targets. In March this year the accused had made an extortion call to a businessman from Nepal and demanded Rs 1 crore from him. On Wednesday night a team led by ACP LN Rao and Inspector Hridaya Bhushan arrested the accused when he had gone to a public telephone booth in Patel Nagar to make an extortion call. The police also recovered a pistol and five cartridges from the possession of the accused.
