It is believed that the killed gangster-turned-narco-terrorist had contacts with people who were imprisoned in various prisons, and with coordination with them, he was running his activities.
Sources informed, for instance, that a big smuggler named Chandu is rumoured to be held in Firozpur prison and was a partner of Bhullar in cross-border drugs trade.
Bhullar had become a very big part of drug syndicate in Punjab and was believed to be making a bank from the drugs operations.
Interestingly, he did not use mobile phone, yet his operations were effective. This was so because he maintained a large number of so-called black sheep within the police departments who enabled Bhullar to stay one step ahead in this game of cat and mouse. Specifically, sources informed that his contacts within the police system informed him about any plans against him in advance.
Because of this network, he not only survived but thrived for 11 years and after committing a crime in Ludhiana, hid within a 30-km radius, indicating his clout.
Bhullar had intentions to leave India, however the action by sincere ASIs of Punjab Police who were martyred in the line of duty jeopardised Bhullar’s plans. Bhullar murdered two ASIs at Jagraon who recognised him. Because of this incident he decided that he had to relocate.

If he were captured alive, then attempts could have been made to extract information from him regarding unscrupulous personnel in various government and departments.
