The gang of 10, from diverse backgrounds, gathered at the watering hole on Wednesday night for a common mission. Metro digs into the police file for some details about the gang...

Nadir: Aged around 24 years, Nadir grew up in the Tiretta Bazar area, and became a bouncer with a bar in Dacres Lane. Has been associated with the gang for some time, ever since its members started visiting the bar for late-night drinking sessions.

Deepak Agarwal: A resident of Diamond Harbour Road, he hosted Wednesday’s get-together. In his early 20s, the man is involved in women trafficking and has deep pockets. To reclaim a huge amount pending with some Sonagachhi strongmen, Deepak was roping in toughies into his gang. Known in the circuit as a big spender at parties.

Sunil Bagaria: This Sambhu Chatterjee Street resident of north Calcutta loves flaunting his 9-mm pistol, which he was carrying when the cops raided the bar. With business interests as diverse as transportation of goods from the Jorasanko area to recovery of bad debts of banks and individuals, the 20-something man was in a hurry to make quick bucks.

SElim Hossain: Barely 20, Selim grew up in Narkeldanga North Road honing his skills in extortion and bomb-making. Out on bail after his arrest in a bombing case, Selim’s skill came in handy for roping in the right men to carry out “operations”.

Mohit Lundia: Son of a Burtola Street businessman, this 25-year-old had links with Selim and came in contact with Deepak barely a fortnight ago.

Mohammed Nasim: Aged around 22 years, Nasim was involved in extortion cases in the Narkeldanga, Maniktala and Phoolbagan areas. Well networked in the world of crime, Nasim is a prize catch for the cops.
