In a significant operation, Punjab Police have successfully dismantled an organized criminal module, arresting three individuals connected to the network. The group was reportedly directed by Manjeet Mahal, who is currently held in Tihar Jail in Delhi, according to Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav.

The police have seized two pistols and 18 cartridges from those arrested. Yadav noted this achievement was a result of the efforts by the Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF) in collaboration with SAS Nagar Police.

Preliminary interrogations indicate that the accused have a criminal history and were scheming to carry out sensational criminal activities in the state, as per instructions from Mahal. Further investigations are underway.
