The anti-gangster task force of the Punjab Police, on Thursday, arrested two operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang near Shambhu village on the Patiala-Ambala highway.
The Punjab Police said they recovered a 9-mm Glock pistol and six live cartridges from the two gang members, who are facing several criminal cases.
“In a major breakthrough, Anti Gangster Task Force (#AGTF) Punjab arrests two most-wanted Lawrence Bishnoi gang operatives from #Patiala-#Ambala Highway near Village Shambhu,” DGP Gaurav Yadav posted on X.
He said they had fled to Nepal after committing a murder and returned on the directions of foreign-based handlers to commit a "sensational crime" in Punjab. "Both the accused have extensive criminal history and over 15 cases of heinous crime are registered against them in #Punjab, #Delhi, #Rajasthan & #Gujarat, including under various criminal Acts," the DGP added.
