A member of the Vicky Gounder gang was arrested on Saturday after an exchange of fire in Gurdaspur district of Punjab.
Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Inspector Kapil Kaushal laid a barricade near Tugal Wal village.
Gangster Ravinder Singh alias Giana, along with his three gang members, was coming to Gurdaspur from Berianwala village in a jeep. When the police asked them to stop the vehicle, they opened fire on the team.
In a retaliatory fire by the police, Giana sustained bullet injury in his leg, the police said.
Although Giana was arrested, the three other gang members managed to escaped, they said. Giana, a resident of Kharlawal, has been admitted to the civil hospital here.
SSP Gurdaspur B S Virk said Giana along with notorious gangster Vicky Gounder had allegedly shot dead three rival gangsters — Harpreet Singh, Sulakhan Singh and Happy near Aulakh village on Amritsar Pathankot bypass on April 20.
