A Right To Information (RTI) query filed by a Mumbai-based activist has revealed that the Bharatiya Janata Party ruled Union Government has no information on the Tukde Tukde Gang.
Responding to activist Saket Gokhle’s query, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the Centre has no information on the ‘Tukde Tukde Gang’.

The RTI application filed by Gokhle on December 26 reminded that Home Minister Amit Shah had told his audience at a public gathering in New Delhi that the ‘Tukde Tukde Gang’ operating in the national capital “needs to be taught a lesson and punished”. In light of that statement, the RTI activist sought details on the gang.
The MHA responded saying: “The Ministry of Home Affairs has no information concerning the Tukde Tukde Gang”.
An India Today report mentions that the ministry officials later clarified stating that no intel on the said gang is present in any report submitted by intelligence and law enforcement bodies.
When some MHA officials declared the RTI to be flippant, Gokhle hit back saying if the Prime Minister and Home Minister have been referring to the gang so many times, then it is expected of the home ministry would have data on the gang members.
