Investigators stated that both individuals had fled India using forged passports and changed identities, with Neeraj leaving in 2019 and Himanshu in 2022. Interpol had previously issued Red Corner Notices against them, and multiple state police departments had announced cash rewards of ₹10 lakh each for their arrest. Authorities alleged that the duo operated their criminal syndicates from abroad primarily to extort money from traders, businessmen, and developers in India.
Reports indicated that the gang was allegedly linked to several high-profile incidents in India, including a 2025 shooting at a YouTuber's home in Gurugram, a murder involving an associate of a pop singer, and a 2024 shooting at a Burger King outlet in Delhi's Rajouri Garden. Following the arrests in the United States, Haryana Police officials stated that legal procedures and processes for their extradition back to India had been initiated.
