The Net Closes: Key Godara Gang Operatives Snared in Haryana Under 'OP Trackdown'

In a truly significant win against the persistent shadow of organized crime, authorities in Haryana, specifically their formidable Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), have announced a major breakthrough. It was, you could say, a painstakingly executed operation, aptly named 'OP Trackdown,' that culminated in the apprehension of two individuals allegedly tied to the feared Rohit Godara syndicate. And honestly, this isn't just another arrest; it's a statement.

The two men taken into custody, identified as Sumit, reportedly hailing from Sonepat, and Aman, from Rohtak, are believed to be integral figures within the Godara gang's sprawling network. Their capture in Narnaul, Haryana, marks a crucial step forward, particularly given their suspected involvement in a high-profile case — the cold-blooded murder of Sukhdev Singh Gill, the respected president of the Rural Youth Federation of Punjab, in Jalandhar. A grim episode, to be sure.

For over a year, these individuals had managed to evade law enforcement, seemingly vanishing into thin air after the Gill assassination. This period of absconding followed a prior stint behind bars in Delhi, where they had faced charges related to an attempted murder case, only to be released on bail. One might wonder about the timing, about the opportunities missed, but such is the complex, often frustrating, dance between criminals and the law.

Upon their capture, the police recovered a sophisticated pistol, along with five live cartridges and a mobile phone—standard fare, perhaps, but nonetheless crucial evidence linking them to the darker side of the underworld. The Anti-Gangster Task Force, working in close coordination with the Narnaul district police, deserves considerable credit here; their relentless pursuit ultimately paid off, bringing these men in from the cold.

The Rohit Godara gang, for those unfamiliar, is far from a local outfit. It's a group with an international footprint, known for its audacious criminal acts, often claiming responsibility for heinous crimes on social media. The murder of Sukhdev Singh Gill, which saw two bike-borne assailants open fire in Jalandhar, was indeed one such incident where Godara and his associate, Goldy Brar, allegedly took credit. Previous arrests in connection with Gill's killing, including Baljinder Singh and Jagroshan Singh, painted a picture of a larger conspiracy, and these latest detentions, well, they only deepen that canvas. It’s a testament to unwavering police work, a stark reminder that even the most elusive eventually run out of road.
