Punjab's "most wanted" gangster Vicky Gounder shot dead in police-encounter

Punjab's most wanted gangster Vicky Gounder and his accomplice Prema Lahoria have been killed in a fierce hour-long encounter by Punjab Police near the Punjab-Rajasthan border. Also, another gangster named Sukhpreet Singh, who was injured during the State Crime Control Unit-led encounter, died at Abohar Civil Hospital. A sub-inspector and assistant sub-inspector were injured in the operation; they are undergoing treatment. Here's more.

Details
Gounder, Lahoria were at another gangster's house

According to Inspector General Special Operations Group, Nilabh Kishore, the cops received a tip-off about Gounder's presence near the Punjab-Rajasthan border; acting on it, cops nabbed him at Abohar's Hindumal Kot village. Director General of Police (Intelligence), Dinkar Gupta, said they were informed that Harjinder Singh (alias Vicky Gounder) and Lahoria were at the house of another gangster Lakhwinder Singh, who has been arrested.

Gounder broke out of high-security Nabha jail in 2016

In a sensational jailbreak in Nov'16, Gounder and five other prisoners, including two terrorists, escaped from the high-security Nabha Central Jail in Patiala. After masterminding the jailbreak, he had become Punjab Police's prime target. He was accused in as many as 15 cases of murder, robbery, and kidnapping. He also killed three of his rival gang members in Gurdaspur in Apr'16.

Information
Gounder killed rival in presence of 6 policemen

Gounder was the prime accused in the murder of his rival gangster Sukha Kahlwan, who was killed after a Jalandhar court hearing on his way back to Nabha jail in a police jeep, in 2015. He was later arrested in the same year.
