Punjab Police is preparing to bring back 46 gangsters lodged in jails outside the state. These gangsters are currently lodged in jails of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Delhi. In an effort to bring back gangsters wanted for crimes of violence and extortion in Punjab, who have been remanded in jails of other states, Punjab Police has started the process of identifying and taking into custody 46 such criminals.
According to senior police officials, all these accused are involved in cases like murder and extortion. The process of bringing them back is underway. They were remanded by jails of other states. Lawrence Bishnoi is running his syndicate from jails.
The police has evidence of involvement of such gangsters in crimes from jails. For this, all states are being contacted. Along with this, a dossier is being prepared to go to the courts of these states. Most of the gangsters are lodged in the jails of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttarakhand. According to the Punjab Police, they are also becoming helpers of militants.
Gangsters hiding abroad will also be brought to India
The Punjab Police is now bringing criminals from abroad to India. Just a few days ago, five accused including Shaganpreet Singh, who was involved in the murder of Youth Akali leader Vikramjit Singh alias Vicky Middukhera, are currently abroad. In its order, the court has directed the Punjab Police to find out about the said people and take action for their extradition. Earlier, Ramanjit Singh Romi, an accused in the Nabha jail break case, was extradited in August last year.
A total of 22 gangsters belong to Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang, 10 to Davinder Bambiha-Lucky Patiala gang, eight to Harvinder Rinda-Lakhbir Landa gang, four to Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang and two to Harry Chatha gang. These gangsters are currently lodged in the jails of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Delhi.
Gangsterism has become a big issue in Punjab
All these were the youth who used to act as gangsters. Punjab Police considers gangsters as another form of militants, while they are the weapon of politicians, responsible for drug smuggling. Their dirty business is to scare the general public by firing bullets in public places and to take ransoms. According to the data of about three years ago, there were about 70 gangs active in Punjab, which were involved in crimes like kidnapping, murder, robbery and extortion.
Despite hundreds of arrests, many of these gangs are still active. Many capable gangsters have now settled in Canada, America and other western countries and are running their gangs from there and have become a headache for India.
These anti-social elements are adamantly misusing social media. They openly commit murders for betel nuts. Although major operations have been taken against gangsters in Punjab in the past few years, their illegal activities still continue.
Gangsters like Goldy Brar, who live in Canada, are accused of more than 50 other serious crimes, including the murders of Sidhu Moosewala and Dera Sauda follower Pradeep Singh. When he went to Canada on a student visa in 2019, there was no case against him, but after going there, he fell into the world of crime. Lawrence Bishnoi also fell into bad company after going to Panjab University.
After all, politicians and corrupt police officers are responsible for why and how the contagion of anti-social elements spreads in these temples of education.
