Faridkot: Lawrence Bishnoi gang's 7 members held
The CIA staff of the Moga police today claimed to have arrested seven members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and seized from them five pistols of .32 bore, besides seven magazines and six rounds of .32 bore pistols.
Moga SSP Ajay Gandhi said those arrested were: Gobind Singh of Seon village in Patiala; Tejinder Singh, alias Teju, of Rauke Kalan village in Moga; Dilpreet Singh and Lovepreet Singh, alias Labu, of Nihal Singh Wala in Moga; Dilraj Singh, alias Akasi, of Lopoke in Moga; Kamaldeep Singh, alias Kamal, and Gurdeep Singh of Badhni Kalan in Moga.
The SSP said the suspects along with some other persons had formed a gang for extorting money from the people in the area. They were working in association with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Gang member Jagdeep Singh, alias Jagga Dhurkot, belongs to Dhurkot Ransih village in Moga. At present, he is settled abroad. He had been making extortion calls to people in the area using social media apps. In case anyone refused to pay the ransom, local members of the gang would attack him using fire weapons to terrorise him. That way they forced their victims to pay money.
