From sports to underworld: Rise and fall of Deepak ‘Boxer’
Hindustan TimesWhen Indian pugilist Vijender Singh won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, his success inspired many teenagers across India to pick up boxing as a sport. “He entered the world of crime after coming in contact with a local criminal named Mohit, who was associated with Jitender Maan alias Gogi, Delhi’s most dreaded gangster of that time,” said an officer on condition of anonymity, quoting a six-year-old interrogation report of Pahal. His presence in the crime world was first noticed in 2016, when he and Mohit led a 10-member gang that helped Gogi flee while he was being taken on a bus from Rohini jail in Delhi to a Sonepat court,” said the officer, and added that Boxer was arrested in the case. After Gogi’s death, Boxer became the leader of the gang and worked in coordination with fellow gangsters like Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar and Kala Jatheri, a third officer said. In January, police said, Boxer fled India, travelling to Mexico via several countries using what special commissioner of police Ravindra Yadav said was the “donkey channel” — a term used by criminals to illegally enter countries using touts, agents, traffickers and other helpers.
