A team of the special task force (STF) Haryana, Ambala unit, arrested an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi and Ankush Kamalpur gangs.

The accused, identified as Rahul, of Peont village was wanted in two cases of loot and thrashing. The Karnal police had already issued a look out circular (LOC) against him in a loot case.
