In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police announced the arrest of Himanshu Sood, believed to be a key operative in the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, on Tuesday.
Hailing from Phagwara in the Kapurthala district, Sood was reportedly following orders from Namit Sharma, a Dubai-based associate of gang leader Bishnoi. His capture foiled plans to execute targeted killings, with suspected links to recent gunfire directed at a hotelier in Haridwar, according to police reports.
The arrest marks a considerable setback for organized crime networks, particularly those with global connections, as police recover two pistols and ammunition. Further investigations aim to uncover additional links and accomplices, emphasizing law enforcement's ongoing efforts to dismantle gang-related activities.
