Shots fired in Ferozepur market: Three attackers caught with bullet injuries; main accused still on the run BATHINDA: Three people seen firing in broad daylight at Ferozepur on Thursday were arrested after an encounter with the police. The three, with bullet injuries on their legs, were admitted to Ferozepur civil hospital. The police recovered four pistols from the three, identified as Gurjinder, Amarjit, and Sonu. The three were witnessed firing shots from the pistols, with Gurjinder having weapons in both of his hands and firing from both weapons. Interestingly, they went to attack another person but ended up losing their own accomplice, identified as Ashu Monga, who was killed in the shootout on Thursday. Ferozepur DIG Harmanbir Singh Gill and Senior Superintendent of Police Bhupinder Singh said that, as per initial investigations, it came to the fore that the deceased, Ashu Monga, had a tiff with one Yuvraj Yuvi, who used derogatory words about Ashu's wife. Unable to tolerate it, Ashu Monga approached his friends Gurjinder, Amarjit, and Sonu, who accompanied him to the Makhu Gate area where Yuvi was in a tattoo shop. They went inside the shop, where before Ashu Monga could cause harm to Yuvi, Yuvi pulled his weapon and fired at Ashu, who died on the spot inside the shop. The SSP said that the three accomplices of Ashu came out and fired towards the tattoo shop, from where Yuvi also fired some shots and somehow succeeded in escaping. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo However, the three were seen firing multiple shots and escaped on a bike.

Missing man's body found in canal, ASI arrested for murder
Ludhiana: A 42-year-old man who went missing on April 16 was allegedly killed by a gunshot fired by assistant sub inspector (ASI) Bua Singh. Moti Nagar police arrested the ASI, posted in Kailash Nagar police post, and lodged an FIR against him and his aides on charges of murder. It is alleged that after killing the man, the accused dumped his body inside a canal in Ropar. The body of the deceased, Gurjinder Singh alias Gora, 43, a resident of MIG Colony, Jamalpur Awana, was found by Morinda police. However, they could not identify the deceased and cremated the body. Initially, Moti Nagar police lodged an FIR under sections 127 (6) (wrongful confinement) of BNS against unidentified accused on the complaint of Gurjinder's mother, Ranjeet Kaur. Now, police have added sections of murder, criminal conspiracy, and Arms Act in the FIR and booked ASI Bua Singh, Bunty, and Gagan. Jeevan Kumar, a friend of the deceased, said, "Gurjinder would often consume alcohol with his friend Bunty, who lives in the same locality. At times, he was seen consuming alcohol with the ASI also. On April 16, Bunty took him from his house, after which Gurjinder never returned. A missing complaint was filed with the police." He added, "For the past one and a half months, neither the family nor police could track Gurjinder. Meanwhile, we came to know through some common friends of Bunty and Gurjinder that Gurjinder was shot dead at Bunty's house on April 16, and the ASI's weapon was used in the crime. We alerted the police." Jeevan said that they suspected ASI Bua Singh of shooting Gurjinder dead after an altercation while drinking with him, Bunty, and Gagan at Bunty's house. Inspector Amritpal Singh, SHO, Moti Nagar police station, said that police had added murder section in the FIR on the basis of the statements of the mother of the deceased. Police are verifying if it was accidental or an intentional fire. The ASI has been arrested and the other accused are being tracked. The arrested accused was produced in court and remanded in three-day police custody. Forensic examination of the ASI's car was also done. MSID:: 121494045 413 |
