Shooters linked to gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldie Brar arrested in Gurugram

Ten shooters allegedly associated with gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar were arrested in Haryana's Gurugram, police said on Thursday.

Four pistols, 28 live cartridges, two vehicles and seven police uniforms were seized from their possession, they said, adding one of the vehicles recovered was reportedly stolen from Delhi.

During interrogating, they revealed the names of their three other associates --Dharmendra alias Dharma, Deepak alias Dilawar and Bharat -- who were also apprehended near Rajiv Chowk Devi Lal Stadium, the police said.

The 10 accused arrested told the police that they were active shooters working for Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldie Brar. "They had come to Gurugram to carry out a major dacoity and kidnapping. Their plan involved posing as police officers, with Joginder impersonating a police inspector. The intention was to kidnap someone and demand a ransom of crores of rupees. However, the police managed to apprehend them before they could execute their plan," said Vijay Pratap Singh, DCP, Crime.

They had bought police uniforms, belts, shoes and other items for their operations in Gurugram, the DCP said.
