2 gangsters arrested in Punjab

Punjab police today claimed to have arrested two gangsters who were wanted in several criminal cases.
According to the police, Gagandeep Singh alias 'Judge' was nabbed from the city bus-stand while he was waiting for his accomplice Varinder Singh alias 'Rickey', who was also arrested, to pick him up.
"Following a tip-off, we arrested Ricky, who was coming from Moga towards Ferozepur, at Satiawala bye-pass on the outskirts of the town," said SSP Ferozepur Gaurav Garg.
"We also recovered cash worth Rs 1.67 lakh from his car," he said.
'Judge' was wanted in over a dozen criminal cases registered in various police stations while Ricky had earlier been booked in four criminal cases, including the Nabha jail- break incident, police said.

'Judge' is also considered close to notorious gangster Jaipaul, the main accused in the murder of gangster-turned- politician Jaswinder Singh Rocky who was shot dead in Parwanoo in April last year.

The SSP further revealed that 'Judge' was involved in a double-murder that took place in Ferozepur last year.
Ricky was allegedly involved in hotel and finance businesses and was reportedly acting as conduit to supply vehicles and other utilities to gangsters in Nabha jail-break case.
In November last year, a group of armed men stormed the Nabha jail in police uniforms and managed to free six prisoners - including terrorists and gangsters -- from the maximum security jail at Nabha in Patiala district.
