A 35-year-old man wanted in eight criminal cases today surrendered before a court in Sangrur, police said.
The court sent Ravi Deol to police remand till February 3, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Sangrur, Mandeep Singh Sidhu said today.
The SSP said that Deol, who was running his own gang, was facing eight cases, including attempt to murder and possession of drugs, in Sangrur, Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib districts.
Deol had also uploaded his Punjabi songs on YouTube when he was at large.
His surrender comes in the backdrop of Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Suresh Arora asking youths to shun the path of violence.
Following the gunning down of Punjab's most wanted gangster Vicky Gounder, the DGP had appealed youths not to be lured by crime as it never pays. "Criminals have a limited life," Arora had said.
In an intelligence-based operation, the Punjab Police on January 26 had eliminated gangsters Gounder and his associate Prema Lahoria.
