In a bid to wipe out gangster’s network operating across the state so as to create a sense of security amongst the citizens, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday, April 5 directed DGP Punjab VK Bhawra to establish a full-fledged Anti- Gangster Task Force (AGTF) headed by ADGP rank officer.

On April 7,2022 Punjab government posted ADGP Special Crimes & Economic Offences Wing Promod Ban as ADGP of Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF), AIG Organised Crime Control Unit (OCCU) Gurmeet Singh Chauhan as AIG AGTF and CP Ludhiana Gurpreet Singh Bhullar as DIG AGTF besides DSP Kharar Bikramjit Singh Brar has been given additional charge of DSP AGTF.

“Showing zero tolerance towards gangsterism, the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on April 8,2022 asked the Anti Gangster Task Force (AGTF) to stamp out gangsters from the state in order to repose people’s full faith and confidence in the law and order machinery.

Within one week, on April 15,2022 Punjab government has issue the transfer order of one of the four member Anti Gangster Task Force- DIG Gurpreet Singh Bhullar,IPS, one of the most influential officer of Punjab police.
