In a stunning undercover operation that could have been pulled straight from a movie script, the Mumbai Police successfully orchestrated the arrest of Sukhvir, alias Sukha, a notorious shooter associated with the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Sukha, a key conspirator in the high-profile attack on Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s residence, was lured to his capture by an undercover female officer posing as his romantic interest.
On the night of Wednesday, Sukha, who had been evading the police for months, walked right into the trap. After weeks of careful planning, the woman, who had been planted by the police, reached out to Sukha with a carefully crafted story. Feigning intoxication and vulnerability, she told him, “I’m somewhere in Panipat, but I don’t know where. I’m at the Abhinandan Hotel. I’m sending the location, come here.” Though suspicious at first, Sukha couldn’t resist the bait.
For three months, the Mumbai Police had been executing a plan to ensnare Sukha, who was in direct contact with global criminal syndicates, including gangsters Goldy Brar in the U.S. and underworld figures in Pakistan. The operation began when the young female officer befriended the shooter, gaining his trust while leading him closer to his downfall.
On that fateful night, Sukha arrived at Hotel Abhinandan in Panipat, believing he was in for a casual, intimate evening. But what he didn’t know was that a team of Mumbai Police officers had been stationed in the room just above, waiting for the right moment to strike. After a few drinks and moments of misplaced confidence, Sukha was abruptly taken into custody.
This takedown marked a significant victory for law enforcement, as Sukha had been deeply entrenched in the criminal networks of Lawrence Bishnoi and was a critical link in a chain of violent conspiracies. His arrest brings a significant disruption to the operations of the Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to multiple high-profile crimes across the country.
This mission not only highlights the resourcefulness of the Mumbai Police but also serves as a stark reminder that, in the world of crime, even the most elusive fugitives can be cornered through patience, cunning, and an ingenious undercover operation.
Stay tuned for more developments on this daring sting that sent shockwaves through the underworld and the halls of justice.
