Notably, gangster Krishna and gangster Happy Jatt are arch rivals. After being released on bail, Krishna fled to Dubai, while Happy Jatt escaped to the USA following their involvement in several crimes, including murder and extortion. Both had obtained fake passports, and separate cases were registered against them for several offences. Despite being abroad, both continue to operate their gangs in Punjab, orchestrating extortion and firing incidents through their local associates. — TNS
