6 members of Kishna gang held with pistols by Jandiala Guru police

In a major crackdown, the Jandiala Guru police arrested six associates of gangster Krishna, who has been operating his gang from abroad.

The arrests were made early Sunday morning. The police recovered two pistols and 10 live cartridges from the possession of the accused. A case has been registered against the accused in this connection.

Mukhtiar Singh, SHO, Jandiala Guru police station, said the arrested individuals were allegedly involved in extortion, firing incidents and drug trafficking at the behest of their foreign-based handler.

The accused were identified as Sunny, alias Nanni, a resident of Sheikhupura Mohalla, Gagandeep Singh, alias Gajni, a resident of Ganowal, Ravinder Singh, alias Joban, a resident of Miranchak, Arshdeep Singh, a resident of Dharad, Manjinder Singh, alias Rajan, and Karan, who resided near Gopi Di Haveli in Ganowal village.

The police received a tip-off that the accused were planning to execute a major criminal act. Acting swiftly, a police team raided the area and apprehended all six accused from a secluded spot. Two pistols, two magazines and 10 live cartridges were recovered from the possession of the accused.

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
