The Jalandhar Commissionerate Police made a significant breakthrough on Sunday, arresting four individuals, including a key associate of Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, for their involvement in a range of criminal activities, including illegal arms smuggling, drug trafficking, and extortion.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Lakhwinder Singh from Haibowal village in Hoshiarpur, Gurbhej Singh, Amritpal’s associate from Gudara village in Ferozepur, Satinder Singh alias Kala from Palahi village in Hoshiarpur, and Bharat alias Bhau from Barar Mohalla in Tarn Taran.
Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma revealed that Lakhwinder Singh, a known drug dealer with a history of criminal cases, had been supplying drugs to Harshdeep Singh, who was arrested earlier on October 20. Sharma explained, “Harshdeep was engaged in the illegal trading of arms obtained from Gurbhej Singh, a close associate of MP Amritpal Singh.”
Gurbhej Singh, who had previously been imprisoned in Kapurthala jail for his involvement in the attack on Ajnala police station, met Lakhwinder while serving time for a murder case. This connection led to the illegal activities that were uncovered by the police.
