Chandigarh: In a major breakthrough for Indian law enforcement, notorious gangster Goldy Dhillon has been apprehended in Spain with the assistance of Indian security agencies. Dhillon is identified as the central mastermind behind the brazen daylight murder of Janki Das, a cashier at the prominent Shri Kumar Medical Hall in Sector 11, Chandigarh. The fugitive operative had been residing abroad for an extended period, orchestrating cross-border criminal operations, extortion rackets, and targeted hits across Punjab, Chandigarh, and Delhi.
Following his arrest on foreign soil, Indian authorities are set to initiate formal extradition proceedings to bring the gangster back to the country. Upon his arrival in India, the Chandigarh Police will seek his custody on a production warrant to conduct extensive interrogation regarding the Sector 11 medical store homicide. Dhillon was already designated as a high-profile wanted criminal by the National Investigation Agency, which had previously announced a bounty of 10 lakh rupees for any actionable information leading to his capture.
Security agencies had been tracking the movements of the Rajpura-native operative for a considerable duration. Dhillon initially entered the criminal underworld through cases involving physical assault, criminal intimidation, and violations under the Arms Act, before graduating to running sophisticated extortion networks targeting prominent business owners. As police pressure mounted in India, he fled underground and transitioned into a key logistical coordinator, arranging professional shooters, illegal weaponry, and safe houses for major organized crime syndicates. The arrest brings a definitive turn to the high-profile investigation of the Chandigarh medical store shooting, where armed assailants opened fire inside the crowded marketplace, killing the cashier instantly at the counter.
