Mohali, March 10
The police have arrested two members of Lawrence Bishnoi-Raju Basodia group and recovered .32-calibre pistol along with ammunition. The suspects have been identified as Vijay Kumar of Dera Bassi and Manpreet Singh of Dhaipi. They face ten criminal cases registered against them in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. The duo was arrested on March 10 and booked under the 25 Arms Act at the Sadar Kurali police station.
Mohali SSP Satinder Singh said Manpreet was an old associate of Lawrence Bishnoi. In December last year, an attempt-to-murder case was registered at Faridkot. The assailants in the case were provided shelter by Manpreet on the directions of Bishnoi.
Cops said Vijay was lodged in jail in 2015 where he came in contact with Bishnoi. He was released from jail in 2016 and fled to Bangalore.
In 2017, gangsters Deepak Tinu and Sampat Nehra visited him and he provided them hideout. Vijay also planned dacoities and robberies in Ambala and Chandigarh in 2018 and 2019, respectively. In one of the dacoities, the owner of a jewellery shop was murdered at Sarafa Bazaar, Ambala. In these crimes, gangster Ankit Bhadu was also involved.
