Chandigarh, June 14 (IANS) In a major breakthrough, Punjab Police on Tuesday arrested two members, each belonging to Lawrance Bishnoi gang and Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar.
SSP Mohali, Vivek Sheel Soni said, the two accused identified as Gagandeep Singh alias Gaagi and Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi are residents of Dabbwali in Sirsa district of Haryana.
He said they had been arrested from near Mohali. Two 32 calibre pistols have been recovered from them along with eight cartridges and a Scorpio vehicle car.
Soni said the duo was in regular touch with Godly Brar through gangster Manpreet Singh alias Manna, who provided Toyota Corolla car to assailants for killing Sidhu Moosewala.
Recently, Manpreet Singh was arrested in the murder case of Moosewala.
Both the arrested accused were working on the directions of Brar and indulged in illegal weapons smuggling from border area of Punjab and Rajasthan and further deliver it to the shooters.
Soni said acting on a tip-off, an operation was launched by the Mohali police along with a team of Anti Gangster Task Force. Gagandeep and Gurpreet were arrested along with arms and ammunitions while they were on their way to deliver consignment of weapons.
Sidhu has been left out in the cold ever since the party lost the elections in Punjab earlier this year. He was asked to resign after the party appointed Amrinder Singh Raja Warring as the new President of Punjab Congress. Since then the Congress has set up a new team in Punjab, reportedly annoying the former state Congress chief.
Announcing to replicate the Delhi Model in the state, the Chief Minister said 117 government schools and an equal number of mohalla clinics will be set up with one each in every assembly segment across the state to impart quality education and the state-of-the-art healthcare facilities.
A spokesperson for the Chief Minister's Office said the move is aimed at sprucing up the health and education infrastructure of Punjab by replicating the Delhi model in both these core sectors.
After launching the web-portal amidst presence of DIG (Cyber Crime) Nilambari Jagdale and DSP Samarpal Singh, the DGP congratulated the entire team for developing this user-friendly portal, which could be easily accessed by anyone to report cyber frauds.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla noted that the interim status report filed by the Delhi Police shows that the police force failed to prevent miscreants from reaching the residence of the Chief Minister and vandalising the area.
In a record, the Punjab Government said it cleared payments of Rs 13,000 crore of farmers for procurement of wheat till Monday, state Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak said. He said this was the highest payment in the past decade.
