Lawrence Gang Member Among Five Arrested in Chandigarh…

Chandigarh : In a major crackdown on organized crime, Chandigarh Police arrested five individuals, including a key member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The operation led to the seizure of three automatic pistols, three vehicles, and ₹5 lakh in alleged drug money. According to police sources, the gang was involved in various illegal activities, including arms smuggling and drug trafficking. The arrest is seen as a significant victory in the fight against gang-related crimes in the region.

Acting on intelligence inputs, a special police team launched a raid at multiple locations in and around Chandigarh. After a brief chase, the suspects were nabbed, and a cache of illegal weapons was recovered from them. Among those arrested is a close associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to several high-profile criminal activities across North India. The gang member was allegedly coordinating illegal operations and managing funds generated through extortion and drug trafficking.

Authorities believe that the recovered drug money was intended to finance further criminal activities. Investigators are now probing deeper into the gang’s network to identify more associates and their sources of weapons and drugs. Preliminary inquiries suggest that the accused were planning a major illegal operation, which was thwarted by timely police intervention.

Chandigarh Police have assured that strict action will be taken against organized crime syndicates operating in the region. Officials emphasized that they are closely monitoring gang activities and will continue their crackdown to ensure the safety of citizens. The arrested individuals are currently in police custody and will be presented in court soon. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies are coordinating with intelligence units to track down more members associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

This development highlights the growing challenge of organized crime in North India, with gangs using sophisticated networks to operate across states. The authorities remain committed to dismantling such criminal organizations and ensuring law and order in the region. As investigations progress, more details about the gang’s activities and connections are expected to emerge.
