The arrest was accompanied by the recovery of a 9mm pistol, two magazines loaded with 16 live rounds, a car, Rs. 92,000 in cash, and four mobile phones from the individual.
The captured KYKL member, identified as a key operative, was actively engaged in the extortion of substantial amounts of money from the general public.
