New Delhi, April 30 : The Special Cell of Delhi Police has arrested a national-level kabaddi player, identified as Dinesh alias Dhillu, for his alleged involvement in a number of criminal cases, including murder and extortion. Dhillu is said to be an aide of dreaded inter-state gangsters Kaushal, Monu Lalheri and Naveen Bali. On April 28, on the basis of a secret information received by the Special Cell, a raid was conducted at Hirankudna village from where the accused was held. A pistol and four live cartridges were recovered from his possession. "As per the directions of his mentor from jail, Dhillu was planning to eliminate the members of rival gangs.
