Mohali/Dera Bassi, November 26, 2025 — A major breakthrough has been reported from Punjab’s Mohali district, where police engaged in a fierce encounter with members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the Dera Bassi area. Four gang members allegedly opened fire on the police team, prompting officers to retaliate.
During the exchange, two of the accused sustained gunshot injuries to their legs and were immediately shifted to the hospital for treatment. Acting swiftly, the police managed to overpower and arrest all four men.
According to initial reports, police received an intelligence tip-off that several Bishnoi gang operatives were hiding inside an abandoned building. Acting on this information, teams from Mohali Police and the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) launched a joint operation and cordoned off the area.
As soon as the suspects spotted the police, they opened fire, triggering the encounter.
Police responded in self-defence, injuring two of the men in the process. Officers recovered illegal pistols and other weapons from the arrested individuals. Investigators are now probing the gang’s plans and determining what major crime the accused may have been preparing to execute.
