Chandigarh: In a major breakthrough, Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF), Punjab, arrested two key operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Rohit Godara Gang Jashan Sandhu and Gursewak Singh, from Mohali, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday.
He said Jashan Sandhu, wanted in a 2023 murder case in Ganganagar (Rajasthan), had been evading arrest by constantly changing locations across Georgia, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai.
After landing in Nepal from Dubai, he entered India by road in an attempt to escape law enforcement.
Police recovered one .32 caliber pistol along with 07 live cartridges from them.
DGP Yadav said the preliminary investigations reveal that Jashan played a crucial role in providing logistical support to the gang.
His interrogation has led to the identification of overseas Hawala operators, travel agents, and the locations of fugitive gangsters hiding abroad, marking a significant step in dismantling these networks.
