Gangster Arsh Dala's father, 3 others acquitted in Bathinda bizman murder case
Bathinda : Four persons, including foreign-based gangster Arsh Dala's father Charanjit Singh , were acquitted in a murder case in Bathinda. The accused were acquitted due to lack of evidence after the witnesses turned hostile and doubts arose over the recovered weapons. Bathinda Mall Road Shopkeepers' Association president and owner of Harman Amritsar Kulcha, Harjinder Singh, also known as Mela, was killed outside his shop in Bathinda on Oct 28, 2023. Angry over the killing of a shopkeeper in a broad daylight, the traders protested by closing their business establishments and blocking the main road in the town by placing the body. Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu and slain rapper Sidhu Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, were present. Given the enormity of the situation, the district police announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh for information about the accused by releasing their sketches. Defence counsel Harpal Singh Khaara said that a challan was presented against four accused — Arsh Dala's father Charanjit Singh, Paramjit Singh alias Pamma, Kamaljit Singh alias Komaljit Singh and Lovely Singh alias Lavi Singh. As per the judgment by the court of special court/additional sessions judge Rajesh Kumar, on the overall appraisal of the evidence on record, the prosecution was not able to prove its case against the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The material witnesses, complainant Aarti Johal, wife of Harjinder Singh; Jagmail Singh, manager at Harman Kulcha; and Vikram Singh, cook at Harman Kulcha, did not support the case of the prosecution. The remaining witnesses proved the formal investigation proceedings. There was no other independent evidence to prove the allegations leveled in the FIR. There was no substantive evidence on record to prove the charges framed against the accused.

Bishnoi gang claims responsibility for 2nd killing in a month in Canada
New Delhi: The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the killing of a businessman reported from Canada's Brampton last week. Sources said Goldy Brar supervised the killing of the gang's rival, who apparently refused to pay protection money. This would be the second killing carried out by the gang in Canada over a month's time, the previous one being of Harjeet Dhadda, who the Bishnoi group claimed was financing the Arsh Dala syndicate. Investigators said Bishnoi and Brar accused Dhadda of sheltering the killers of their associate Mahal Singh at his farmhouse in Uttarakhand. The latest victim who was shot on Friday has been identified as MP Dhanoa, who was in his thirties. He was gunned down in a drive-by shooting at an automotive complex shop located on Rutherford Road South and Selby Road in Brampton. Peel Regional Police told the local media that its officers responded to the shooting around 5.45pm. Upon arrival at the complex, police discovered a man with multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics rushed him to a trauma centre in critical condition, where he succumbed to his injuries. The local administration blamed an "India-based crime network" for the "targeted killing". A Facebook post by Bishnoi's man Friday Rohit Godara read, "We are responsible for the killing. I called him a week ago for protection money because he made money through a lot of wrong things and he came out on bail from jail some time ago. When I called him, he misbehaved with me. We told him that we will definitely take him out.. . lightly. This is a warning for those whose name is included in our hit list, we will definitely kill them." The group has of late stopped tagging their kingpin Bishnoi in their posts to shield him and give the impression that they are operating separately. However, investigators dismissed these claims as frivolous attempts to mislead the law enforcement agencies. In May, 51-year-old Dhadda of Brampton was shot multiple times after being approached by unknown suspects in a parking lot near Tranmere Drive and Telford Way in Mississauga. Investigators said they found common patterns in the killings of Dhanoa and Dhadda—Brar being a key link and conspirator. Two of Brar's henchmen, Aman and Digvijay, were held in June for Dhadda's murder. According to social media posts from his children, Dhadda, a Canadian resident since 1997, received threats in recent years, which were reported to police, but no action was taken.
