LUDHIANA: Dehlon police, on Sunday, claimed to have busted a gang of liquor thieves, with the arrest of three.
The trio has been identified as Pawan Kumar of Ferozepur, Shamsher Singh and Manpreet Singh, both residents of Gopalpur in Dehlon. The gang kingpin, Judge Singh, a resident of Giaspura, has already been arrested by Barnala police. Police stated on March 10, the group had struck at a liquor vend in Lehra village and made off with 301 bottles of liquor in a automotive. Before hanging, probably the most gang contributors had performed a reconnaissance.
On Sunday, police gained a tip-off that the 3 have been at Rurka village on Sahnewal highway.
Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Jasvir Singh stated, "Pawan, Manpreet and Shamsher have been arrested from the village. The mastermind of the group, Judge Singh, was once arrested by Barnala police in a similar case some days ago. We have recovered the auto they used in the crime. It seems to be a stolen vehicle as it isn't registered on their names.
The gang is thinking about two to 3 such cases. Shamsher Singh and Manpreet are addicts. This was once the first liquor theft committed by Pawan." Following a theft in Barnala and Lehra, Judge Singh had given some liquor boxes to the 3. Those have been supposed for consumption and extra sale, the ASI added. Besides the auto, police have seized 10 boxes of liquor and a knife from their possession.
