Punjab AGTF in a joint operation with Faridkot Police apprehended an absconding operative of foreign based gangster Gaurav alias Lucky Patial and Davinder Bambiha gang after brief exchange of fire at Faridkot, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Friday.

The arrested accused has been identified as Manpreet Singh alias Mani, a native of Talwandi Bhagrian in Moga. Police teams have recovered .30 calibre pistol along with four live cartridges, besides, impounding a motorcycle, which the accused was riding.

Police teams have also arrested two accomplices of accused Manpreet alias Manni— identified as Jagmeet Singh alias Meeta of Chania in Faridkot and Akashdeep Singh of Mehma of Ferozepur— for providing him shelter and logistic support.

The development came close on the heels of Punjab Police arresting Manpreet Mani’s co-accused Malkit Singh alias Manu from Moga after recovering one .32 caliber pistol along with four cartridges from his possession on Wednesday.
