With a height of 5 feet 6 inches and a mole on the foot that no one was allowed to touch, a gang with bizarre demands was busted in Sambhal

Sambhal Police Bust Bizarre Gang with Unusual Demands – Including a Forbidden Mole on Leader’s Foot

Police in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, have uncovered a criminal gang with some truly bizarre practices—including an unusual fixation on their leader's mole. The gang, led by 32-year-old Rinku Sharma, operated under strange superstitions, most notably treating a mole on Sharma's left foot as sacred territory that no member was allowed to touch or even look at directly.

Authorities became aware of the gang after multiple local business owners reported extortion attempts. During their investigation, police noticed the gang members exhibited peculiar behavior, particularly their careful avoidance of their leader's feet during meetings. "It was unlike anything we'd seen before," said Superintendent of Police Ankur Aggarwal. "They genuinely seemed to believe violating these rules would bring bad luck or worse."

The gang's unusual code of conduct came to light when a former member, frustrated with their superstitions, provided crucial information to police. A subsequent raid led to the arrest of Sharma and five associates at their hideout on the outskirts of Sambhal. Investigators were surprised to learn the extent of the gang's beliefs—new recruits reportedly took oaths of secrecy that specifically included promises never to question the leader's authority regarding the mole.

Forensic examination confirmed the mole was simply an ordinary birthmark, debunking any claims of special powers. Police now suspect Sharma cultivated these superstitions as a psychological tool to maintain control over his followers. "It's a classic case of using fear and mysticism to enforce loyalty," explained one investigator.

Local residents reacted with a mix of amusement and disbelief upon hearing the details. "We knew they were trouble, but we never imagined they were following some sort of foot mole cult," remarked a neighborhood shopkeeper. The case has left even seasoned law enforcement officials shaking their heads at the strange intersection of crime and superstition.

As the investigation continues, authorities are examining whether the gang employed similar psychological tactics in their criminal operations. Meanwhile, Sharma and his followers remain in custody, their unusual beliefs now a matter of public record and police reports rather than gang lore. The case serves as a peculiar reminder of how superstition and criminality can sometimes intertwine in unexpected ways.
