Two members of Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang in police net

The Anti-Gangster Task Force, Punjab, has arrested two key operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi-Rohit Godara gang — Jashan Sandhu and Gursewak Singh — from Mohali.

Jashan Sandhu, who was wanted in a 2023 murder case in Ganganagar, Rajasthan, had been evading arrest by constantly changing locations across Georgia, Azerbaijan, SaudiArabia and Dubai. After landing in Nepal from Dubai, he entered India by road in an attempt to escape law enforcement.

Preliminary investigations reveal that Jashan played a crucial role in providing logistic support to the gang. His interrogation has led to the identification of overseas Hawala operators, travel agents and the locations of fugitive gangsters hiding abroad —marking a significant step in dismantling these networks.

A .32-caliber pistol along with seven live cartridges were seized from their possession.
