Chandigarh, May 1: In a significant move against crime in Punjab, the police have achieved a major breakthrough. The Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), in collaboration with the SAS Nagar police, has arrested a crucial operative linked to foreign gangsters during a joint operation.
According to police reports, the arrested individual was working under the directives of gangsters based abroad. Initial investigations revealed that he had been assigned multiple targets in the Tricity area, including Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula. His arrest has successfully averted potential serious criminal incidents in the region.
During the operation, police also seized a .32 bore pistol and five live cartridges from the accused. The presence of the weapon suggests that he was likely planning to execute a significant conspiracy. Currently, police are interrogating him to uncover the identities of others involved in his network.
This arrest follows another major operation on April 18, where police dismantled a gangster module and apprehended four suspects. Authorities are now linking both cases to expose the entire network.
Police officials have stated that the investigation is ongoing, focusing on both backward and forward links—identifying who is behind the accused and who he was connected to. Technical evidence, call details, and other inputs are also being scrutinized.
Officials have made it clear that their crackdown on organized crime and gangster networks will continue. Maintaining peace and security in the state remains their top priority, and strict actions will be taken against such criminals.
