Delhi: Jailed gangsters make presence felt on social media
Several dreaded gangsters with their names in Delhi Police's records are reportedly very active on Facebook.

Most of the "underworld dons" have their own Facebook pages and fan pages that are handled by unverified accounts. Some gangsters have been using Facebook to warn or threaten their rivals.
