A suspected member of the Goldy Brar gang has been apprehended in Ahmedabad following a coordinated operation by the city's crime branch, SOG unit, and Delhi police officials. The suspect, identified as Arif and commonly referred to as 'Pistol,' was wanted in connection with multiple serious crimes spanning the region.
According to police officials, Arif faced charges in over 11 cases, including attempted murder, illegal firearms discharge, and extortion. The suspect's arrest marks a significant development in ongoing efforts to dismantle the criminal network associated with the Goldy Brar gang, which has been implicated in organized crime across northern India.
During preliminary investigations, authorities discovered evidence suggesting Arif's involvement in an extortion and intimidation network that operates partially through international channels. Police indicated that threatening calls and extortion operations were being coordinated through contacts in Dubai, pointing to a broader organized crime structure with cross-border dimensions. The investigation is continuing as authorities work to establish the full extent of the suspect's criminal activities and associates.
