Two associates of the Bambiha gang were arrested in Punjab’s Mohali, police said on Wednesday.

In a joint operation of the Mohali police and Anti Gangster Task Force, four pistols and sixteen cartridges have been recovered from Avtar Singh, alias Gora, and Ajay Kumar, alias Preet Sharma, Director-General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said.

The duo was providing logistics support and hideouts to the members of the Bambiha gang, he said.
