The arrest occurred on the Patiala-Ambala Highway, near Shambhu village in Patiala, disclosed Gaurav Yadav, Director General of Police Punjab, on Thursday.
Preliminary investigations reveal that the fugitives had fled to Nepal after committing murder but returned to Punjab to execute another crime, reportedly at the behest of foreign-based handlers. During the operation, law enforcement recovered a Glock nine mm pistol and six live cartridges, promptly filing an FIR at Sahibzada Ajit Singh (SAS) Nagar Police Station.
Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav added via social media that these operatives have extensive criminal records with more than 15 serious crime accusations across Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
