The police said on Thursday that they had apprehended 10 members of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang from two different locations in Gurugram.
According to a police officer, the gunmen were captured on Wednesday after Gurugram Police Crime Branch teams received information from Bhondsi and another location close to Devilal Stadium.
They were found to be in possession of four foreign-made pistols, 28 live rounds, two cars (a Scorpio and a Honda City), seven police uniforms, and other items.
The Honda City was discovered to have been stolen from Delhi.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Varun Dahiya told reporters that acting on a tip-off, seven persons – Kumar a.k.a. Anil (24), Harjot Singh (23), Ajay Isharwalia a.k.a. Punjabi (20), Prince a.k.a. Golu (18), Joginder a.k.a. Joga (31), Sandeep a.k.a. Deep (23) and Sinderpal a.k.a. Bittu (33), were nabbed from Bhondsi area in Gurugram.
After questioning the detained people, Dharmender, also known as Dharma (27), Deepak, also known as Dilawar (26), and Bharat (24), who were also involved in the crime, were also apprehended along with illegal firearms from a location close to Devilal Stadium in Gurugram.
“It was learnt that all of them are active shooters of notorious gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar gang, and had come to Gurugram to execute a major incident of robbery and kidnapping. As part of their plan, Joginder had to disguise as a police inspector while other members would wear police uniforms and carry out the crime in police uniform”.
“They were planning to kidnap a person and extort crores of rupees as ransom. However, before they could do anything, they were nabbed. Seven of the accused were wearing police uniforms at the time of arrest,” ACP Dahiya said.
They were always in touch with Goldy Brar and other people.
The arrested people were allegedly connected to over 26 cases that had been filed against them in various districts of Haryana, including Bhiwani, Panchkula, Sirsa, Ambala, Gurugram, Mohali (Punjab), and Rajasthan for robbery, dacoity, attempted murder, theft, assault, and possession of illegal weapons, among other crimes.
When asked if the accused were connected to the murder of singer-politician Sidhu Moosewala, the ACP responded that their friends were, and that the investigation would clarify their responsibilities.
“They are being questioned thoroughly and information about their criminal records is also being collected. The accused will be taken to police custody on remand after being presented in court for further proceedings,” he said.
