Jalandhar Commissionerate Police has thwarted three possible target killings with the arrest of five key operatives of the Bambiha-Kaushal gang, said DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Sunday.
Those arrested have been identified as Jaspreet Singh alias Jassa of village Boparai Kalan in Jalandhar, Harshdeep Singh of village Garage Mehdood in Hoshiarpur, Shekhar of village Muradpur in Tarntaran, Gagandeep Singh alias Ginni Bajwa of New Model House in Jalandhar and Amit Sahota of village Bambian Wal in Jalandhar. Police teams have also recovered nine weapons— including eight pistols and one revolver— along with 15 live cartridges from their possession.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said that the arrested accused were involved in multiple serious offenses, including extortion, murder and arms trafficking across several districts of Punjab. Several cases have already been registered against these accused persons, he added.
The DGP said that further investigations are going on to uncover their broader network and establish both backward and forward linkages to dismantle the gang completely.
