In a major breakthrough, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) Punjab, in a joint operation with Hoshiarpur Police, has arrested two active members of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said on Friday. The accused, identified as Swinder Singh alias Bodhi and Sukhman alias Jashan, both residents of Kalanaur in Gurdaspur district, were apprehended with a cache of sophisticated firearms. Police recovered two Glock pistols, one Zegana pistol, one PX30 pistol, and a motorcycle from their possession.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the duo was acting under the directions of their foreign handler, Amrit Dalam, and are wanted in a firing incident at a medical shop in Wadala Bangar, Kalanaur, which targeted Dr. Hari Singh. A case under the Arms Act has been registered at Police Station Dasuya in Hoshiarpur, and further investigation is underway to trace their network and international connections.
DGP Yadav praised the coordinated efforts of the AGTF and Hoshiarpur Police, reiterating the state police’s commitment to dismantle organised criminal networks and curb gang-related violence in Punjab.
