Four interstate gangsters, including their kingpin belonging to UP, were arrested with four pistols and cartridges by the police following a tip-off last night. One of their accomplices escaped.

Those arrested have been identified as kingpin Sachin Tomar, Bharat Bhusan and Rakesh Kumar, all residents of Ghaziabad (UP), and Sundar Singh, a resident of Delhi. Ajay, a resident of Bulandshahr (UP), escaped. Sachin was injured when he tried to escape.

Khanna SSP Gursharandeep Singh Grewal said a police party, led by SP (I) Jasvir Singh and Sadar SHO Baljinder Singh, was present near Sua Puli Bhattian during patrolling last night. An informer passed on information that some persons travelling in a Hyundai I-10 car were carrying illegal weapons. The police raided a defunct brick-kiln near Bahomajra village and arrested the gangsters with illegal weapons, including two pistols of .9mm bore with four cartridges, and two pistols of .32 bore with four cartridges. Ajay of Bulandshahr escaped. Gang kingpin Sachin also tried to escape but the police chased him. He fell over while fleeing and got injured.
