Indian security agencies achieved major success as they arrested two of the country’s most wanted gangsters, who have been operating abroad. Security agency officials, including those from the Haryana Police, arrested Venkatesh Garg in Georgia, while Bhanu Rana was arrested in the United States. Rana is linked to the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Both Garg and Rana will be deported to India soon. Currently, over two dozen major gangsters from India are out of the country, hiring recruits and running criminal syndicates.
