The authorities describe the members of `Santa Clara Punjabi Boys,' `Aim to Kill,' and `All Indian Mob,' the three gangs that operate in Alameda and Santa Clara counties of California, as some of the Bay Area's most violent offenders, according to Mercury newspaper. Police say there are perhaps 500 members, mostly Sikh men in their 20s, in these gangs. ``In family photos, the young men pose politely in turbans and ties. But in secret snapshots confiscated by police, some of them reveal a darker side. They stuff assault rifles down their pants, flex their tattooed muscles and flaunt their bare chests,'' says the newspaper. ``Others point 9mm pistols at each other's temples and flash gang signs.'' ``Their conflicts always result in stabbing, shooting or beating,'' said Dave Lanier, a Fremont police sergeant who also is the region's foremost expert on Indo-American gangs. Investigators began focusing on the gangs after a series of violent incidents during the past four years. — PTI
