Trader's gang threat claim debunked; police to cancel FIR
Ludhiana: Police have initiated proceedings to cancel the FIR registered for an alleged murder attempt against Lakhbir Singh alias Lakhu Baba of Lambra (Jalandhar), notorious criminal Rishav Benipal alias Nanu of Ludhiana, and others. The FIR was lodged on a complaint from shoe trader Gurvinder Singh Prinkle. The move came after police verified that the man who visited Prinkle's shop was a customer, not a gangster. Police said an FIR may be lodged against Prinkle for filing a false complaint. However, he will first be interrogated to determine his intent in alleging an attack attempt. On Aug 10, Prinkle lodged a complaint with Division 7 police, claiming that Lakhbir Singh alias Lakhu Baba entered his shop armed with a pistol intending to kill him. He said since he was not present at the time, Lakhu made a video call to his accomplices and said he would have shot Prinkle had he been there. Prinkle also submitted CCTV footage of a man he claimed was Lakhu Baba. Police registered an FIR against Lakhbir Singh, gangster Rishav Benipal, and their aides — Inderjit Singh, Harpreet Singh, Gaganpreet Singh, Rajinderpal Singh, Sukhwinderpal Singh, and Shubham Mota — under BNS sections 55 (abetment to offence) with 101 (attempt to murder), 61(2) (criminal conspiracy), and 351(2) (criminal intimidation), along with Sections 25, 54, and 59 of Arms Act. A report by TOI revealed that the person captured in the CCTV footage was actually Sachin, a resident of Bhattian Colony.
