Tension gripped Patna’s Beur area as police thwarted a Lawrence Bishnoi gang plot, arresting four members in back-to-back actions. The drama unfolded Thursday morning with a raid on their den, forcing the criminals to scatter. Parmanand Yadav alias Nepali, wanted in multiple grave offenses in Bihar and Jharkhand, was pinned down in an encounter en route to Jehanabad.
The other three—Neeraj Kumar (aka Vicky, the accounts expert), Chandan Kumar, and Shivam Anand—were swiftly nabbed from nearby hideouts. SP (West) Bhanu Pratap Singh hailed the Beur team’s swift response in his media address. Seizures painted a picture of a well-resourced cell: a pistol, live rounds, substantial cash including Nepali notes, and travel documents to Nepal and Malaysia.
With STF now at the helm of questioning, focus is on unraveling the gang’s local objectives and global reach. A cyber team is tracing digital footprints to confirm Bishnoi linkages. This haul disrupts potential violence in Patna and signals escalating police resolve against inter-state crime syndicates. As Bihar fortifies its defenses, such victories bolster public safety amid rising gang incursions.
