The five suspects -- identified as Vikas Jatav, Vipin Singh, Akash Jatav, Rohit and Yashpal (go by first names) -- allegedly have several crime cases registered against them, according to the officials.

They are also booked under Uttar Pradesh Gangster and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, said a police spokesperson on Friday.

“The suspects have several independent cases against them, including attempted murders, organised crimes, among others. They had been barred from entering the district. If they try to do so, the police will take strict action against them and will likely send them to jail,” the police spokesperson added.

The move has been taken as a preventive measure to curb crime cases in the city, said the officials.
