Ferozepur tattoo shop killing: Day on, two arrested, hunt on for five more
A day after a 29-year-old man was gunned down in a tattoo shop in Ferozepur, seven persons, including notorious gangster Ashish Chopra, were booked in the case. Two of the accused, identified as Angrez Singh and Joginder Singh, have been arrested, while a hunt is on for the remaining suspects. The victim, Ashu Monga, was shot dead by four persons on Thursday, allegedly over an old rivalry. As per the police, the victim had got into a verbal dispute with the accused a few days ago, which is likely the reason behind his brutal killing. Police said Monga had been dragged out of the shop and shot multiple times, killing him on the spot. A video of the incident, captured by a local from a building across the shop, showed four men going on a rampage on the road, opening multiple rounds in the air. Ferozepur senior superintendent of police Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said a case was registered against the accused on the statement of the victim's wife, Pawanpreet Kaur. The primary accused are Ashish Chopra, Amrik Singh alias Amrika, Gurdit Singh, Angrez Singh, Joginder Singh, Shivam Sehgal alias Sanga, and Yuvraj alias Yuvi, along with four to five unidentified individuals. The case has been registered under Sections 103 (murder), 191 (3) (rioting), 190 (unlawful assembly), 61 (2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) besides Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act. A cross-FIR was registered under the Arms Act against Gurjinder Singh, Sarabjit Singh, Lakha, Amarjeet Singh, Dev Sharma, and the deceased Ashu Monga, based on a complaint by one Arshdeep.

Key witness in Moose Wala case dies
A retired Punjab police sub-inspector Angrez Singh, who was one of the investigating officers and a key witness in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder case, died due to an illness on Friday. He was under treatment at a private hospital in Ludhiana. Singh was the station house officer (SHO) of Mansa Sadar police station when the Congress leader and famed Punjabi singer was shot dead at Jawaharke village in Mansa on May 29, 2022. Being among the first police personnel to reach the crime scene in his beat, Angrez was among the key persons to give testimony in the crime. Sources privy to the prosecution say it is premature to conclude that Angrez's death will hamper the case in the court. Angrez had an important place for the prosecution, but the case was not entirely dependent upon his testimony, said sources. 'It was a long investigation where several police personnel had roles. Angrez had not been keeping well for quite some time, and he was not able to appear before a trial court in Mansa in the last two hearings. Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, and another cop, Sukhpal Singh, are other witnesses in the case and their testimony would play an important role in the case,' said a source. A Mansa court will hear the matter on July 4.
