The Punjab Police has arrested two associates of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in Jalandhar after a chase and shootout, officials said on Wednesday.
According to officials, the police opened fire in retaliation after the suspects fired at them during the chase.
Three weapons and multiple cartridges were also recovered from the suspects, who have multiple cases registered against them, including extortion, murder, the Arms Act, and the Narcotics Act.
The police said they are continuing their investigations to uncover more about the gang's activities and connections.
The Bishnoi Gang has been named in multiple cases across the country, with the prominent ones including the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, firing at actor Salman Khan's house, and the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, among others.
In a recent incident, on Tuesday, a blast occurred at a club in Chandigarh, and Goldy Brar, a Canada-based terrorist linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility.
With Lawrence being in jail, other gang leaders, including the recently arrested brother of Bishnoi, Anmol, have been managing the crime syndicate.
