Ludhiana: A high-profile criminal linked to the notorious Puneet Bains gang has been arrested following a police raid that uncovered a significant stash of heroin. Movish Bains, a resident of Killa Mohalla, was intercepted by the CIA-2 unit near Kadiyan village while commuting on a scooter.
Details of the Arrest
A search at a police checkpoint yielded 300 grams of heroin, leading to a fresh First Information Report (FIR) at the Ladhowal police station. Bains was already a wanted man prior to the drug seizure. The investigating officer, sub-inspector Mamta Minhas, confirmed that he was being sought for a violent scuffle reported in March at the Division Number 4 police station.
Criminal Record
The suspect's criminal record includes at least eight FIRs, with alleged involvement in carjackings, drug peddling, and multiple shooting incidents. Police suspect that his arrest may lead to further names being added to the investigation as they work to dismantle the local distribution network.
Interrogation and Next Steps
Police are now interrogating Bains to identify the suppliers behind the heroin shipment. Authorities believe that his arrest could help uncover the broader network of drug trafficking in the region. The investigation is ongoing, with more details expected to emerge as the police continue their probe.
