Neeraj Bawana Biography

Neeraj Bawana (real name Neeraj Sehrawat) is a Delhi-based figure known for his long-running involvement in criminal activity. Born and raised in Bawana, a

Early life and background

Neeraj Sehrawat, widely known as Neeraj Bawana, was born on 5 August 1988 in Bawana, Delhi. He completed his schooling up to class 10 and left formal education afterward. His father, Prem Singh, worked as a bus conductor for the Delhi Transport Corporation, while his mother is named Sudesh Kumari. He has an elder brother, Pankaj Sehrawat.

Growing up in Bawana, Neeraj developed a reputation for getting into fights as a teenager and began committing petty crimes, including robberies. He left school early and, according to reports, his family did not insist on further education. Personal details reported about him include that he is unmarried, belongs to a Jat family, speaks Hindi and English with a Haryanavi dialect, and has tattoos on his right hand. He has been described as a non-vegetarian who uses opium and engages in smoking and drinking.

Career

Neeraj’s early brushes with the law date to 2004, when he was arrested for a robbery in Haryana and served about three months in jail before being released on bail. He later picked up further criminal charges and was arrested again in 2015 for possessing arms without a license. That arrest led to a term in Tihar Jail.

While in custody, Neeraj formed associations with other inmates and figures, including people with links to larger criminal networks. Reports say he came into contact with Fazal-ur-Rahman, who influenced his methods and steered him toward extortion, and later linked up with established local criminals such as Surendra Malik (also known as Neetu Daboda). Together with allies he reportedly carried out incidents of robbery, murder and extortion across parts of Delhi and surrounding states.

A violent split within those alliances followed the killing of an associate in 2012 and the eventual encounter death of Neetu Daboda. After the death of that rival, Neeraj is reported to have expanded his influence in Bawana and to have collected money from local factories and overseen gambling and betting operations. Even after his 2015 arrest, reporting indicates he continued to run operations from inside Tihar Jail; authorities shifted him to a high-security ward after receiving information that he remained in touch with gang members.

By accounts from law-enforcement reporting, Neeraj’s organization grew to include many henchmen involved in crimes such as murder, robbery, extortion and property grabbing across Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Specific incidents attributed to his gang include a violent attack in 2019 that left a cousin injured and her partner dead, and involvement alleged in the 2021 killing of Sagar Rana.

Public profile

Neeraj’s public profile stems from his notoriety in Delhi’s criminal landscape. He has been described in media reporting by a number of nicknames and was listed among the city’s most wanted before his 2015 arrest. Physical descriptions in reports list his height at about 172 cm (5 ft 8 in), with black hair and black eyes. He has been photographed in custody and his time in Tihar has been the subject of media attention, including reports of items he requested while in isolation.

Latest updates

As of the most recent reports in this excerpt, Neeraj remains lodged in Tihar Jail with multiple cases registered against him, including extortion, land grabbing, murder and attempted murder. Media accounts note continued police investigations linking him to violent incidents and say that his network remained active across several states. Details reported from 2019 and 2021 tie his name to further violent episodes, and prison correspondence in late 2019 shows he sought certain comforts while being kept in isolation.

Neeraj Bawana remains a controversial figure in Delhi’s criminal history, known for a steady escalation from street-level crime to a reputed role leading a wider criminal network.
