Kala Kachcha gang
Indian organized crime group / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kala Kachcha gang (also known as Kale-Kachchewale or Kale Kachche gang) refers to certain organized criminal gangs in Punjab, India. The Kala Kachcha gang members are robbers and dacoits (bandits), who don police uniform or 'Kale Kachche' (black underpants)[1] to evade detection. They put grease on their body as lubricant.
There are many such gangs suspected to be active in Punjab. They usually target families living at isolated places in the countryside and always thrash their victims before robbing them. In 2014, the Mohali police busted one such gang who allegedly carried out a spate of dacoities in the district in June and July. Twelve of them were arrested while planning another dacoity in an abandoned factory.
