Chandigarh: On Friday, 16 September 2022, Two members of Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang were arrested by the Punjab Police's Anti-Gangster Task Force, officials said.

The task force arrested the two gangsters, identified as Mandeep alias Tufan and Manpreet alias Mani Raiya, from Amritsar district, Punjab Police DGP Gaurav Yadav said.

The two were arrested in an intelligence-led operation, Mr. Yadav added. The duo was wanted for years in several cases of killings and robbery. 

Mr. Yadav said they were also wanted for links with the Sidhu Moosewala murder case.

Sources said arms and ammunition were also recovered from the accused.

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Mansa district on May 29. On Saturday, Punjab Police arrested the sixth and the last shooter involved in the popular Punjabi singer's killing.

In an 1,850-page chargesheet filed in a Mansa court last month, the Punjab Police had stated that gangster Goldy Brar was the mastermind behind the Moosewala’s murder and had coordinated with Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, Lawrence Bishnoi, and others to execute the plan of killing.

In July, two accomplices of Bhagwanpuria, who faces more than 40 criminal cases, Jagroop Singh, alias Roopa, and Manpreet Singh, alias Manu, were killed in a heavy exchange of fire with Punjab Police in Amritsar.
