Faridkot Police Takes Major Action: 3 Shooters from Goldy Brar Gang Arrested with Foreign-Made ‘Glock’ Pistols…
Faridkot (Alexander D’Souza): As part of the ongoing campaign launched against gangsters and anti-social elements in the district, the Faridkot Police achieved a major breakthrough when a team from the CIA (Crime Investigation Agency) Staff apprehended three operatives linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang, seizing weapons in the process. The police recovered one foreign-made 9mm Glock pistol and five live cartridges from their possession.
Success Achieved Under the Leadership of SSP Dr. Pragya Jain
Disclosing the details of the case, DSP (Investigation) Mr. Avtar Singh stated that strict security arrangements had been implemented across the district under the directives of SSP Dr. Pragya Jain. These accused individuals were apprehended during a special blockade and checking drive conducted by the CIA Staff, Faridkot.
Details of the Arrested Accused:
The accused individuals taken into police custody have been identified as follows:
1. Jagdeep Kumar alias Deepu (Resident of Bajigar Basti, Faridkot).
2. Chetan Gharu alias Chetu (Resident of Awa Basti, Ferozepur).
3. Sunny Singh (Resident of Bajigar Basti, Faridkot).
Fugitive in Murder Case Also Nabbed by Police:
The investigation revealed the startling fact that the arrested accused, Chetan Gharu, was a wanted fugitive in a high-profile murder case in Ferozepur (FIR No. 242/2023). He had been evading the police for a considerable period and has serious criminal cases, including murder (under Section 302), registered against him.
The Full Story of the Operation: How Was the Trap Laid?
Under the supervision of CIA Staff In-charge Inspector Amrinder Singh, a team led by ASI Parminder Singh apprehended Jagdeep Deepu and Chetan near the New Grain Market on March 19. Under rigorous interrogation, the accused confessed that these foreign-made weapons were intended for further distribution. Acting on this information, the police arrested a third accomplice, Sunny Singh, near the Aircraft Ground on March 22.
The Police’s Future Strategy:
A case has been registered under the Arms Act at the City Faridkot Police Station. DSP Avtar Singh clarified that the police are now investigating their “backward and forward” linkages—that is, they are tracing the route through which these foreign weapons entered India and identifying the next intended targets of these shooters.
“No criminal who disturbs the peace of the district will be spared. Eradicating gangster networks from the root is our priority.”..Police Administration, Faridkot.
