The police recovered a country-made pistol 30 bore and a licenced .32 bore revolver from him along with 630 grams of intoxicants in powder form.
Six gangsters had escaped from the high-security Nabha jail on November 27, last year. Four of them — Harminder Singh alias Mintoo, Gurpreet Singh Sekhon, Kulpreet Singh Neeta and Aman Dhotia — were arrested, while two including Vicky Gounder are still at large.
