In a significant breakthrough for law enforcement agencies, a wanted gangster was apprehended at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport while attempting to flee the country. The arrest marks a crucial development in two high-profile criminal cases that had shaken the state of Haryana.
The Dramatic Airport Capture
Lovepreet Singh, identified as a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was taken into custody by a special team of Delhi Police at Terminal 3 of IGI Airport. The notorious criminal was reportedly attempting to board an international flight when authorities intercepted him following a tip-off about his travel plans.
Dual Crime Connections Revealed
Police investigations have linked the accused to two major criminal incidents:
Fazilpuria Recording Studio Attack
The gangster stands accused of orchestrating a brazen shooting at the Mohali office of popular Punjabi singer Fazilpuria. The incident, which occurred in September 2022, saw armed assailants open fire at the musician's recording studio, creating panic in the entertainment industry.
Property Dealer Murder Case
More seriously, Lovepreet Singh is the prime suspect in the brutal murder of property dealer Dinesh Chandel in Gurugram. The businessman was shot dead in a targeted killing that police believe was connected to property disputes and extortion rackets operating in the National Capital Region.
Police Investigation Breakthrough
"The arrest came after weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering," revealed a senior police official involved in the operation. "We had information that the accused was planning to escape to a foreign country to evade prosecution for his crimes."
Authorities confirmed that the gangster had been actively involved in multiple criminal activities across Haryana and Punjab, operating under the protection of the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. His capture is expected to provide crucial insights into the operations of organized crime networks in northern India.
Ongoing Legal Proceedings
The accused has been remanded to police custody for further interrogation. Investigators are particularly interested in uncovering the masterminds behind the attacks and identifying other members of the criminal network.
This arrest represents a significant victory for Delhi and Haryana police forces, who have been intensifying their efforts against organized crime syndicates operating in the region. The successful operation at one of India's busiest international airports demonstrates improved coordination between intelligence agencies and law enforcement.
