Tension gripped Chandigarh’s outskirts early Wednesday as a police dragnet in Sector 39’s wooded Jhera Mandi area triggered a blazing showdown with Lawrence Bishnoi gang foot soldiers. One armed gangster lay injured after a bold police operation foiled their evasion.
Fresh off orchestrating a terrifying shootout at Sector 32’s chemist store, the fugitives were tracked via secret intel to a nondescript taxi lurking in the foliage. Officers moved in decisively, only to face immediate resistance in the form of indiscriminate firing.
The retaliatory barrage from lawmen subdued one attacker, who was promptly hospitalized under heavy guard. This gang, helmed by the elusive Lawrence Bishnoi, boasts a dark legacy of vengeance killings, drug peddling, and public intimidations that challenge state authority.
With the zone locked down, K9 units and additional squads fan out for the escapees. The captured suspect’s disclosures may dismantle sleeper cells. ‘Our city won’t tolerate mafia tactics,’ affirmed police brass, outlining plans for sustained crackdowns.
The prior chemist assault had ignited public outrage, galvanizing special units. This victory signals a turning tide against gang dominance, with enhanced intelligence sharing across borders. Citizens are advised to stay vigilant, as the dragnet tightens on remaining threats.
