Gangster Dilpreet Singh Dhahan’s addiction to ‘chitta’ helped the state special operation cell of the Punjab Police nab him, as per reports. The special cell officials got a WhatsApp calls made by his acquaintances to ask him to come to a secluded place behind the interstate bus terminus (ISBT), Sector 43, in Chandigarh. Three deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) — Tejinder Singh Sandhu, Rajiv Yadav and Rakesh Kumar — led operation that was assisted by nine inspectors and over 50 other cops. Right after laying the trap, a Chandigarh crime branch team was also called to the spot, as per sources. When Dilpreet came in a white Maruti Swift Dzire from the judicial complex side towards the backside of the bus stand at nearly 12 noon, the police confirmed it was him. As soon as they intercepted the car, Dilpreet tried to escape by reversing the vehicle. While he was reversing the car, some members of the police team hurled bricks at his front windscreen to rattle him. He stepped out of the car and opened fire at the police team that returned the fire. One of the bullets hit him in the right thigh and he was overpowered by the police. He was immediately taken to Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh for treatment. “The present physical appearance of Dilpreet Singh ‘Baba’ is entirely different from the one of a flowing beard and ‘damala’ (a form of turban) which was known to police. Now, he has his hair shorn and a beard trimmed,” said an official. -PTC News
