Sangrur: Inter-state gang stealing mobile tower equipment busted; four arrested
Four members of an inter-state gang, involved in over 100 mobile tower equipment thefts in Punjab, have been arrested, Sangrur senior superintendent of police (SSP) Sartaj Singh Chahal said on Saturday. The accused have been identified as Ramkaran Singh alias Laddi, Avtar Singh, Prem Singh, and Rupinder Singh alias Chinu. They were allegedly stealing mobile tower equipment and selling it further.
