Punjab Police Arrest Seven Criminals, Including Gangsters Raju Shooter and Happy Baba, in Major Taran Operation
In a significant crackdown on organised crime, the Punjab Police have arrested seven notorious criminals, including gangster Raju Shooter and Happy Baba, during a major action in Taran district. The arrests were made following accurate intelligence inputs, leading to a swift and coordinated operation by the Amritsar and Tarn Taran police teams.
According to officials, the police received confidential information that members of the gang were gathering at a marriage at a marriage palace in the area to celebrate the birthday of Raju Shooter’s son. Acting promptly, three dedicated police teams surrounded the location and launched a targeted operation. All seven accused were apprehended before they could attempt to escape or retaliate.
Weapons Seized from the Gang
During the operation, police recovered five pistols and a large quantity of live cartridges from the possession of the arrested criminals. The recovery of these weapons highlights the gang’s dangerous intentions and their readiness to carry out criminal activities in the region.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the arrested gangsters may have connections to cross-border criminal networks. Authorities believe that foreign handlers could have been assisting them in acquiring weapons and planning illegal actions. The police have now intensified their probe to uncover the entire network behind the gang and identify other associates involved.
Possible Cross-Border Links Under Probe
Senior officers stated that the interrogation of the captured criminals may help solve several pending cases related to extortion, illegal arms supply, and gang rivalry in Punjab. Efforts are underway to trace the source of the seized weapons and verify the suspected international links.
Police Reassure Citizens of Strong Action
The arrests have come as a major relief to local citizens who have been concerned about rising crime in some areas of the state. The Punjab Police have assured that they remain fully committed to maintaining law and order and dismantling organised crime groups that attempt to threaten peace.
This successful operation once again demonstrates the preparedness and strong action of the Punjab Police in curbing criminal networks. The investigation continues, and police officials expect more crucial revelations in the coming days as they dig deeper into the gang’s operations.
