Chandigarh/Bathinda, July 26
In yet another big jolt to Gangster Goldy Brar and Anmol Bishnoi, Punjab Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) in a joint operation with Bathinda Police arrested their two close associates, when they were attempting to escape to Haryana via Pathrala village in Bathinda, said Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav here on Tuesday. This is another addition in the list of achievements in the ongoing war against gangsters waged by Punjab Police on the directions of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Those arrested have been identified as Malkit Singh alias Kitta of Bhaini village in Bathinda and Hardeep Singh alias Mamma of Aaklia Jalal village in Bathinda. Both the accused persons are history-sheeters and wanted by Punjab Police in several cases of heinous crimes.
The police have also recovered seven pistols (six .32 bores and one .30 bore) along with ammunition and a police uniform of an ASI Rank from their possession besides impounding their motorcycle using which they were trying to escape.
The development came just a few days after the AGTF had neutralized two killers of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala during an encounter in Bhakna village of Amritsar. Pertinently, Goldy Brar, currently residing in Canada, is a mastermind in Sidhu Moosewala murder case.
Divulging details, DGP Gaurav Yadav said following a reliable input about two associates of Goldy Brar carrying a large number of weapons trying to escape the state on a motorcycle, the AGTF along with Bathinda Police laid a naka at link road of Pathrala village and nabbed both of them.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the arrested accused, on directions of Goldy Brar, had unsuccessfully attempted to murder a Rajasthan-based gangster Kailash Manju at Jaisalmer when he was out on bail, he said.
Apart from this, the DGP said that arrested persons had also unsuccessfully tried to kill three associates of gangster Sukha Duneke — Dagar, Fateh Nagar and Kaunsal Chaudhary, when Nakodar Police had brought them on production warrant in connection with Kabbadi player Sandeep Nangal Ambia murder case.
Not ruling out the connection of these two arrested persons in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, the DGP said the police are investigating from that angle also.
