A 2 November 1999 article in The Tribune reported the arrest of five members of the "kachha banian" gang. The police reported that all five "belonged to a jhuggi cluster of Nazafgarh in Dehli" (ibid). During interrogation, gang members reportedly admitted to killing four people and to being responsible for a number of lootings in Neemka, Mirzapur, Shahpur Khurd, Chandwali, Sotai, and Bamnikhera villages in Ballabhgarh subdivision, Haryana State (ibid). In another instance, police in Rohtak Zone, Haryana State issued a press statement claiming the arrest of "a majority of the dreaded [kachha banian] gang" (The Tribune 29 Nov. 1999). As well, a 5 April 2000 article reported the arrest of four members of the "kachha banian" gang who were thought to be responsible for at least 20 murders and a large number of gang robberies in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh (The Tribune). In a case involving the murder of two people and the injury of two others in a house robbery in Faridabad District, Haryana State the police reportedly responded immediately and had set up a special team, with police officers sent to Uttar Pradesh and Karnal in order to locate gang members (The Tribune 6 June 2000).
A Hindustan Times article reported on allegations made by Bihari labourers injured in an attack by Kachha Banian members that the police were not pursuing their attackers, but were instead harassing the workers (6 Aug. 1999; The Tribune 6 Aug. 1999).
Several articles reported that villagers in Faridabad District, Haryana State had been so terrified by Kachha Banian activities that they had beaten to death people suspected of being members of the gang (ibid 2 Nov. 1999; ibid 19 Oct. 1999; ibid 10 Oct. 1999). As well, residents of Kariaki village, Haryana State were reported to have blocked off the Delhi-Mathura national highway for more than six hours in reaction to recent attacks by gang members (The Tribune 5 Oct. 1999).
