Arrest of 5 Haryana men in Mumbai for ‘attempting to sell' illegal firearms raises fears of Bishnoi gang links

Mumbai: The arrest of five men from Haryana, suspected of attempting to sell illegal firearms in the city, has raised concerns over possible links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The arrests have gained added significance as the Bishnoi gang recently claimed responsibility for a firing incident outside the residence of comedian Kapil Sharma in the United States. The seizure of sophisticated ammunition and firearms from the accused in a crowded city area has alarmed authorities. Police suspect the men were attempting to sell the weapons illegally and are examining the financial and communication trails to determine if any contract or conspiracy was underway. Mumbai crime branch is now probing whether the accused were part of a broader plot to target Kapil Sharma or any other high-profile individuals.

While seeking their custody, police told the court that all the accused have criminal antecedents. Sunny Nareshkumar was arrested in a theft and arms case by Delhi crime branch and Alipur police. Rahul Singh was arrested by Karnal police in Haryana under the Arms Act. Anuj Kumar has records with Delhi, Gurgaon, and Haryana police, and Aditya Kaushik has offences of kidnapping, extortion, and Arms Act with Haryana and Karnal police. Police have also found some videos on Kaushik's mobile phone of his connection with the Goldie Brar gang. During the course of interrogations, prima facie, the accused said they had come to sell these weapons, but police are not buying this theory and think otherwise. "They said that one Harish alias Yogesh had given them the assignment to supply these weapons in Mumbai. This could be a ploy to mislead the police. A team is likely to visit Haryana to do the case study of each of the accused," said a police source. Sources in the crime branch said coordination with central intelligence agencies and Haryana police is ongoing to trace the accused's connections and possible instructions from gang operatives outside the country. Kapil Sharma, who is currently based in the US, has not publicly commented on the matter. Security around him remains tightened in light of recent developments.
