Doaba Trappers is a drug dealing mafia which do their business in the rural area of South west Phagwara. They employ hawkers and peddlers from Bihar to sell their product from door to door. Being based in villages far from the main city and having links with the local amli population along with the panchayat (rural government) , they are rarely caught during their disgusting acts. Most of the members in this gang are either drug abusers or sons of wealthy farmers. Pappu Pharaliya, from the village of Hardo Pharala, is believed to be the head of this illegal organisation and the gangs name suggests that the founders are young teens who are literate in english. Other members of this gang may include Geeta Sadarpuria, Palwinder Bahia, Babbu Bambiaal, Satinder Shindi, Chabbi Badmash and Ramnik Binning Bhanokiya.
This gang usually deals in Opium and Heroin and may have dealings with other local gangs such as the Baaghis.
