We have taken decisive action to dismantle criminal networks operating in Punjab and have pursued gangsters even when they fled abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Taking aim at the Opposition, the AAP Punjab Media In-charge stated, \u201cThe Opposition has little to offer the people of Punjab and is therefore trying to defame the Punjab Government by repeatedly raising issues without acknowledging the action being taken against organised crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said Punjab\u2019s history shows that gangsterism expanded significantly during the 2007\u20132017 period. \u201cIf we look at Punjab\u2019s history of gangsterism, the phenomenon expanded significantly during the 2007\u20132017 period. This was the period when the word \u2018gangster\u2019 increasingly became part of Punjab\u2019s public discourse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said the situation continued during the 2017\u20132022 Congress government. \u201cInstead of effectively dismantling these networks, the Congress government even brought a gangster from Uttar Pradesh to a Punjab jail and gave him VIP treatment. The Uttar Pradesh Government had to approach the Supreme Court seeking his return,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contrasting this with the Bhagwant Mann Government\u2019s approach, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cWe changed this approach. The Punjab Police launched a sustained crackdown against gangsters and continued pursuing them even after they fled abroad. More than a dozen gangsters have so far been brought back from foreign countries through sustained efforts by the Punjab Police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said those brought back include Sachin Bishnoi, Manpreet Singh alias Pita, Ramanjit Singh alias Romi, Parminder Singh alias Pindi, Anmol Bishnoi, Amritpal alias Mehro, Gurvinder Singh and Jobandeep Singh alias Joban Billa.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said, \u201cAnmol Bishnoi, considered among the major gangsters and a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, was brought back from the United States. Amritpal alias Mehro, accused of murdering an Instagram influencer before fleeing abroad, was brought from Dubai. Gurvinder Singh was brought from Malaysia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He further said, \u201cTwo days ago, the AGTF brought gangster Amritpal alias Amrit Dalam from Moldova. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met the team and appreciated its efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said another major gangster, Karamveer Singh alias Karamveer Deo (also Dev), has also been brought into the process of being returned to Punjab. \u201cKaramveer Singh alias Karamveer Deo, also known as Dev, is a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi. He has been deported from Canada and is being brought to Punjab by the AGTF team after his arrest at Delhi airport,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis demonstrates the Mann Government\u2019s determination that no gangster involved in crime in Punjab can consider any part of the world a safe hiding place,\u201d Baltej Pannu said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the strengthening of the Punjab Police, he said, \u201cThe Punjab Government has significantly strengthened and modernised the Punjab Police. This is not merely about providing better vehicles. We have equipped our personnel with advanced technology and equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said this technological strengthening has directly enhanced the police force\u2019s ability to prevent crimes and apprehend gangsters. Referring to the recent Ludhiana encounter, Baltej Pannu said, \u201cThe police had prior information about a planned attack on a blood donation camp. This information enabled the police to act before the criminals could execute their plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said the Punjab Police is pursuing criminals even in countries with which India does not have an extradition treaty. \u201cThe Punjab Police is pursuing criminals even in countries with which India does not have an extradition treaty. At the same time, the cooperation of countries where these gangsters are hiding is also improving because such criminals have become a problem for those countries as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Baltej Pannu said the message from the Mann Government was clear. \u201cPunjab is in safe hands. Anyone who commits crime in Punjab and threatens its people will be pursued wherever they hide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; More Than Dozen Gangsters
