The special task force (STF) nabbed an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang from an outer road of Sector 15 here last night.
Two pistols and eight cartridges were seized from his possession, besides a cartridge of an AK-47 rifle.
The accused has been identified as Praveen (alias PK) of Kulasi village in Bhadurgarh of Jhajjar district. He was produced in a local court that remanded him in police custody for two days.
