New Delhi: In a significant breakthrough, the Punjab Police's Anti-Gangster Task Force has arrested two key members of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang in Mohali.

One of the arrested individuals, Jashan Sandhu, was wanted in a 2023 murder case in Ganganagar, Rajasthan . Sandhu had been evading arrest by constantly shifting locations across Georgia, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai. After a stint in Dubai, he landed in Nepal and subsequently entered India by road in a desperate bid to escape law enforcement.
