Criminal Background of the Arrested

The apprehended individuals were directly linked to high-profile crimes, including the murders of Kabaddi player Sandeep Singh Nangal Ambian in 2022 and Sukhmeet Singh, alias Deputy, in 2021. The gang members were also involved in a brazen shooting at the Highway King Hotel in Rajasthan in September 2024, where they indiscriminately fired and demanded ₹5 crore in extortion.

Recovery of Arms and Ammunition

During the operation, the police recovered six sophisticated weapons and 40 live rounds from the arrested suspects. The recovery highlights the gang's readiness for violent operations and their role in organized crime networks.

FIR and Legal Action

An FIR has been lodged at the PS SSOC (State Special Operation Cell), Amritsar, to initiate legal proceedings against the accused. The arrests mark a significant step in the Punjab Police’s ongoing efforts to dismantle organized crime syndicates and ensure public safety.

Commitment to Peace and Security

The Punjab Police reaffirmed their resolve to eradicate organized crime networks from the state. In a statement, the department emphasized its unwavering dedication to maintaining peace and harmony in Punjab, assuring citizens that such operations will continue to protect the state's security.

This successful operation serves as a major blow to the Kaushal Chaudhary Gang and reinforces law enforcement's commitment to cracking down on criminal activities across the region.
