Two Associates of Gangster Doni Bal Arrested in Ludhiana for Planned Extortion AttackPreviousNext

Ludhiana police arrested two associates of foreign-based gangster Balwinder Singh, alias Doni Bal, for allegedly planning an extortion-linked firing at a businessman's residence. The accused, Sukhwinder Singh and Rajvir Singh from Mullanpur Dakha, were found with two .30-bore pistols and nine live cartridges. Investigations revealed their communication with Doni Bal and aide Arsh Bagga via Telegram. The arrests prevented the planned attack, and further inquiries are ongoing to uncover more details.
