Chandigarh, Nov 10
In a major intelligence-led operation, Punjab Police’s State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Amritsar has averted potential targeted killings in the state with the arrest of four members of a gangster module and recovered two sophisticated weapons from their possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav here on Monday.
Those arrested have been identified as Jagpreet Singh, alias Jagga, Mohammad Singh, Lavish Nahar, and Amarbir Singh.
The recovered weapons include one 9MM Glock pistol with a magazine and five cartridges, and one .30 bore Star Mark pistol with a magazine and three cartridges.
DGP Yadav said preliminary investigations have revealed that the arrested accused were in close contact with a Portugal-based wanted gangster and were working under his direction.
The foreign-based handler was the one who had arranged the delivery of the weapons recovered in this case, he said.
