Chandigarh: In a significant operation against organized crime, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of Punjab has arrested a suspected associate of gangster Arzoo Bishnoi, believed to be part of a wider inter-state criminal network.
According to officials, the accused has been on the radar of law enforcement agencies and is wanted in connection with a murder case registered in Rajasthan. A cash reward had also been announced for information leading to his arrest.
During the operation, police recovered a .32 bore pistol along with three live cartridges from the accused. Authorities believe the seizure could help uncover further details about the network’s activities and potential plans.
