In a major breakthrough, the police today arrested four miscreants and seized four bulletproof jackets, four bulletproof helmets, a country-made pistol, 16 cartridges, a mobile phone and WiFi dongle from their possession.

Sources said the accused were connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with all four accused having criminal records.

A spokesperson said a police team got tip-off that four youths with illegal weapons and bulletproof jackets were roaming in a car in the Chandwas village area to commit a major crime. On getting information, the team raided the location and arrested the youths. The accused were identified as Ankit, alias Dhaulia, and Ajay, alias Bhola, Ashuraj, alias Lucky and Ravindra, alias Mintu.

During the primary probe, accused Ankit, alias Dhaulia, said in 2020, he met Akshay Gang (Jhajjar) in jail and befriended him. Akshay is the nephew of Naresh Sethi gangster and are associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. About a year ago, Akshay had fled abroad and used to communicate with him through an online app.

A few days ago, Akshay had provided two country-made pistols, 30 cartridges in Delhi to loot hawala money, which was not successful. After that Akshay had to get some big work done, for which four bullet proof jackets and four bullet proof helmets were made available.

One of his accomplices Monu, alias Binda, a resident of Dhabdhani in Bhiwani district, was arrested on May 15 under the Arms Act, from whose possession an illegal country-made pistol and six cartridges were recovered.

A case has been registered against them.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
