The vigilant Punjab Police have achieved a major breakthrough against organized crime. The Anti-Gangster Task Force has successfully apprehended four associates of the notorious gangster Gurpreet Sekhon. The captured suspects were involved in the sensational murder of Overseer Singh, also known as Satinder Singh, alias Satti, on February 5 in Bhai Rupa village, Bathinda.
The news was shared by Punjab’s Director General of Police (DGP) on social media platform X. According to him, the arrested individuals include Gurpreet Singh, also known as Gopi, Lovjit Sharma, alias Lavi, Vinod Kumar, alias Skill Sharma, and Gagandeep Singh. Initial investigations reveal they have an extensive criminal past.
Numerous criminal cases, including murder, attempted murder, and violations of the Arms Act, are registered against them. A 32-bore pistol and six live cartridges were recovered from them. The DGP stated that further investigations are underway to identify all individuals involved in this crime network to dismantle it completely.
It's worth noting that last month, Punjab Police also busted a terror module linked to the infamous terrorist Lakhbir Singh, alias Landa, operating from abroad, apprehending four individuals. During the operation, a skirmish between the police and the suspects occurred in Tarn Taran.
From this encounter, police seized two hand grenades, two advanced .30 caliber pistols, ammunition, and three magazines. DGP Gaurav Yadav revealed that the arrested suspects were acting under the orders of Gurdev Singh, alias Jaisal Chambal, in the USA and Satbir, alias Satta Naushera, in Canada.
