Punjab Police Deal Major Blow to Bambiha Gang: Two Associates Apprehended with Arsenal

In a significant crackdown on organised crime, the Punjab Police have delivered a substantial blow to the notorious Davinder Bambiha gang, apprehending two of its key associates and seizing a formidable arsenal of weapons. The operation, a testament to the state's relentless efforts against gangsterism, saw the arrest of Paramjit Singh alias Pamma and Gagandeep Singh alias Gagan in Bathinda.

The successful sting was carried out by the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) in a meticulously planned joint operation with the Bathinda Police.

Acting on credible intelligence, law enforcement officials intercepted the duo near the railway crossing at Dhillon Basti, Bathinda, leading to their immediate apprehension. Upon searching the individuals, officers recovered six sophisticated .32 bore pistols and 12 live cartridges, effectively thwarting their illicit activities.

Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav highlighted the crucial role played by the arrested individuals.

Paramjit Singh and Gagandeep Singh were not mere foot soldiers but integral members of the Bambiha gang's intricate network, primarily involved in the dangerous trade of illegal arms smuggling. Their capture is particularly significant as investigations reveal their direct involvement in supplying weapons that were later used in recent, high-profile criminal activities in Jalandhar.

This latest operation underscores the Punjab Police's unwavering commitment to dismantling criminal syndicates that threaten peace and public safety.

Since the formation of the AGTF by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the state has witnessed an intensified campaign against gangsters and their networks. Such targeted operations are instrumental in disrupting the supply chains of illegal weapons and incapacitating elements that destabilise law and order.

Following their arrest, a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against Paramjit Singh alias Pamma and Gagandeep Singh alias Gagan under relevant sections of the Arms Act at the Kotwali Police Station in Bathinda.

The police are now pursuing further investigations to uncover more links, identify other collaborators, and ascertain the full extent of their criminal enterprise. This arrest serves as a stern warning to all those involved in organised crime that the long arm of the law will eventually catch up, reinforcing the state's resolve to create a safer Punjab.
