Punjab Police Busts Arms Smuggling Racket, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria

Punjab : In a major crackdown on organized crime, Punjab Police has busted an arms smuggling racket and arrested a key member of the infamous Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang. The operation, carried out by the state’s Anti-Gangster Task Force, led to the seizure of a large cache of illegal weapons. Officials have stated that this is a significant step in curbing the rising incidents of gang-related violence in the region.

According to police reports, the arrested individual was actively involved in smuggling firearms across state borders. The accused, a close associate of gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, was allegedly supplying weapons to various criminal groups operating in Punjab and neighboring states. The police recovered several illegal firearms, including pistols and ammunition, during the raid.

Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, known for his involvement in organized crime, has been linked to numerous cases of murder, extortion, and drug trafficking. His gang has been under police surveillance for its growing influence in Punjab’s criminal underworld. The recent arrest is seen as a major breakthrough in the ongoing crackdown against armed gangs operating in the region.

Senior police officials have confirmed that further investigations are underway to trace other members of the network and their links to cross-border arms suppliers. Authorities suspect that the smuggled weapons were being used for gang wars, targeted killings, and other criminal activities.

The Punjab Police has intensified its operations against organized crime, focusing on dismantling networks involved in arms smuggling, drug trafficking, and contract killings. Recent efforts have led to multiple arrests and the recovery of illegal firearms, significantly reducing gang-related violence.

This development comes amid growing concerns over the rising influence of criminal syndicates in Punjab. Law enforcement agencies have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities and assured that strict action will be taken against those involved in illegal arms trade.

With the latest arrest, police officials believe they are closing in on larger networks involved in arms smuggling and organized crime. The authorities have reiterated their commitment to making Punjab a safer place by eliminating such criminal elements from society.
