Punjab vigilance nabs Batala municipal commissioner while taking Rs 50,000 bribe
CHANDIGARH: The Sub-Divisional MagistratecumMunicipal Corporation Commissioner of Batala, Vikramjeet Singh Panthey, has been arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau after he was allegedly caught red-handed taking a bribe of Rs 50,000. In addition, unaccounted cash amounting to Rs 13.50 lakh was recovered from his official residence during a subsequent search. A Vigilance Bureau official stated that the complainant, a resident of Batala in Gurdaspur district, had carried out patchwork and repair work on roads for the Municipal Corporation, Batala. For this work, two bills of Rs 1,87,483 and Rs 1,85,369 totalling Rs 3,72,852 had been submitted for payment. When he approached the Commissioner regarding the pending payment, he was allegedly told that a 10% commission (Rs 37,000) would have to be paid as a bribe to clear the bills. The official further said that the complainant had also executed camera and related technical work for a light and sound show in Batala, for which an additional amount of Rs 1,81,543 was pending. In total, payments amounting to approximately Rs 5,54,395 were due. When the complainant met SDO Rohit Uppal regarding the matter, he was allegedly informed that the Commissioners instructions had to be followed, and a 9% commission would be required to release the pending amount. The complainant, however, refused to pay any bribe. It was also noted that the Commissioner had given Uppal additional charge as Executive Engineer (XEN), granting him extra administrative powers. Acting on the complaint, the Vigilance Bureau recorded the complainants statement at the VB Unit in Gurdaspur. After verifying the allegations, the Bureau laid a trap and apprehended Vikramjeet Singh Panthey while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 50,000, in the presence of two official witnesses. A case under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against the accused officer at the Vigilance Bureau Police Station, Range Amritsar. He will be produced before a competent court on Saturday, and further investigation is underway. Sources alleged that the officer routinely took cuts from all tenders floated by the Municipal Corporation. Vigilance officials reached his residence in three vehicles around 10 p.m. on Friday and conducted a search that continued until midnight.

Punjab police bust gangsterterror module; five held with foreign links
CHANDIGARH: A gangster-terror module was busted by the Punjab Police with the arrest of five suspects. Seven such modules have been unearthed in the last three weeks. The arrested men were allegedly assigned target killings by handlers operating from Pakistan, Canada, and Europe. Sources said the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, through its handlers, has been using YouTube videos to train recruits remotely on how to operate and detonate hand grenades. Police recovered these instructional videosdownloaded and shared via WhatsApp using virtual numbersfrom the mobile phones of the alleged suspects. The accused have been identified as Deepak, alias Deepu, and Ram Lal, who travelled from Rajasthan to coordinate and execute a terror attack in Ludhiana. The other three are Shamsher Singh from Ferozepur in Punjab, Harsh Ojha from Bihar, and Ajay from Haryana. Ludhiana Police Commissioner Swapan Sharma said the accused were specifically tasked by their Pakistan-based handler, Jasveer alias Choudhary, to carry out grenade attacks in the state. These Pakistan-based handlers are deliberately recruiting criminals from other states to commit terror acts in Punjab, as youths from Bihar, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra are being recruited to orchestrate grenade attacks in the state. We are in touch with the National Investigation Agency to unearth their foreign links, he said. Police officials privy to the investigation said that after Operation Sindoor, there has been a sharp rise in assigned target killings, with gangster-terror modules receiving hit lists, weapons, and logistical support from handlers abroad. There is credible evidence that the ISI of Pakistan is trying its best to disturb peace in the state, as it is pressurising its contacts among gangsters through foreign handlers to carry out target killings, said one official. There has also been a five-fold increase in weapons smuggling across the border. A total of 375 weaponsincluding AK-47 rifles, grenades, and improvised explosive deviceswere seized till October 31 this year, surpassing the total number recovered from 2021 to 2024, according to state police data. On November 1, four operatives of gangsters Gurdev Jassal and Gurlala alias Gullu were arrested in Gurdaspur, and five pistols were recovered from them. On November 10, the State Special Operation Cell arrested four members of a terror module who were in touch with a Portugal-based wanted gangster and were working under his directions. A day later, SSOC-Amritsar, in a joint operation with the Counter-Intelligence Wing, Pathankot, arrested two individuals working on behalf of a UK-based handler and recovered a sophisticated 9mm Glock pistol and five live cartridges. On November 12, the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), in a joint operation with Mohali Police, arrested two operatives linked to foreign-based gangster Goldy Dhillon of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who were planning to target a businessman. On November 13, police arrested two associates of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang and recovered two foreign-made .30-calibre pistols from Batala. The accused were tasked by gangster Amrit Dalaam, a member of the Bhagwanpuria gang, to carry out target killings, the police said. Then, on November 15, the Counter-Intelligence Wing in Amritsar busted an illegal weapons-smuggling module being operated from Madhya Pradesh, arresting one person and recovering nine pistols. Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said the police have been able to bust most of the modules that had been assigned target killings. There have been desperate attempts from across the border to disturb peace in the state, but our agencies have been active and alert to meet any eventuality, he said.

HC raps Haryana govt for action against doctor who didnt stand when MLA arrived in emergency ward
CHANDIGARH: Expressing dismay over a government doctor deployed on COVID duty in a Haryana hospital facing disciplinary action merely because he did not stand up when an MLA arrived in the emergency ward, the Punjab and Haryana High Court said the State's behaviour was insensitive and highly disturbing. Undesirable incidents of dedicated medical professionals being ill-treated should be checked, a bench of Justices Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Rohit Kapoor said as it directed the Haryana authorities to issue a no-objection certificate (NOC) required by the petitioner doctor for pursuing a postgraduate medical course and imposed Rs 50,000 as costs on the State. Petitioner Dr Manoj was a casualty medical officer working with the Haryana government. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was on duty in the emergency ward of a government hospital. An MLA, during his visit to the hospital, was annoyed that the petitioner did not rise upon his arrival, the plea by the doctor said. A show-cause notice (SCN) was issued to the petitioner as the State proposed to impose a minor punishment under Rule 8 of the Haryana Civil Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 2016. The petitioner submitted his reply in June 2024, saying that he did not recognise the MLA and that his failure to stand was unintentional and did not amount to discourtesy. However, no final order has been passed till date, according to the petitioner. We are anguished and amazed at the action of the State in issuing the show-cause notice to a government doctor who was on emergency duty during the COVID-19 period only because he did not rise when the MLA arrived. To expect a doctor to rise when an MLA enters the emergency ward of the hospital and to propose disciplinary action against him if he does not rise is highly disturbing. The petitioner's explanation that he did not recognise the MLA or that he did not do anything to inflict insult has been completely ignored, read the November 21 order. In our view it is insensitive on the part of the State to proceed against the petitioner on such a charge. It would be equally arbitrary to deny him the right to pursue higher medical education by withholding the NOC only because SCN is pending against him, the court said. Stressing that pursuing medical education is a tough challenge, the court said students must perform exceptionally well even to secure admission in an MBBS course. It is well-known that medical courses require deep dedication and commitment over prolonged periods. After completing MBBS and joining government service, a doctor is expected to provide medical facilities to the masses. Public representatives and others responsible must extend respect and basic courtesies to such dedicated professionals, it said. The court said, With anguish, we note that frequent reports surface in newspapers of dedicated medical professionals being ill-treated by relatives of patients or public representatives without valid cause. Time has come when such undesirable incidents are checked and due recognition is extended to sincere medical professionals. The bench said that it would be wholly unjust and manifestly arbitrary to allow adverse action against a doctor merely because he did not rise upon the arrival of an MLA. Keeping such proceedings pending for years and denying the petitioner an NOC on such a basis, therefore, cannot be sustained. The respondent State is, therefore, directed to issue the NOC to the petitioner forthwith. In view of the above, the present writ petition succeeds and is allowed, with costs quantified at Rs 50,000 to be deposited with Poor Patient Welfare Fund, PGIMER, Chandigarh by the respondent State, the order said.
A Dumping Ground, Under Control Of Encroachers Is Now Indias 30th Test Cricket Venue
Barsapara Stadium (also known as the Assam Cricket Association Stadium) in Guwahati is staging a Test match for the first time ever. After what happened at Eden Gardens, the pitch and the new venue both are in focus now. The BCCI head curator Ashish Bhowmick is looking after the pitch and since this is home turf, his responsibility is much more. The India -South Africa Test at Barsapara Stadium, situated on the outskirts of Guwahati and inaugurated in 2012, is a historic occasion for Assam as this the first venue in the North-East where a Test is played. The local people after watching IPL games and the ICC Womens World Cup matches, will now watch the real stuff. Few years back, who would have thought that Guwahati shall give BCCI its Secretary Devojit Saikia and now the city is 30th venue in India to stage a Test. Earlier the centrally located Nehru Stadium was the centre of states most of the sporting activity including cricket and now cricket has its own home. The Assam government has plans to make Nehru stadium a FIFA Olympic-standard football stadium. Some facts about the Barsapara Stadium: *The wicket is made of red earth and expected to remain firm longer. * Capacity: 37,000 * Due to the geographical location of the state and India following a single time zone, players will experience something new. Instead of a usual Test match start of 9.30 AM, the Guwahati Test will witness a 9.00 AM start with toss at 8.30 AM. Lunch and Tea reversed. The first break from 11.00 AM to 11.20 AM. Lunch will be taken at 1.20 PM, and the final session will run from 2.00 PM. Tea before Lunch has was seen in the initial day-night Tests in Australia, but probably for a day Test, its a new start. * This year, the ICC Womens Cricket World Cup 2025 got off to a historic start here and the opener between India and Sri Lanka was watched by 22,843 fans, a record for the most attended group stage fixture at any Womens World Cup (Previous record: 15,935 set during the India-Pakistan ICC Womens T20 World Cup in 2024). * The construction of the stadium started in 2006 (in 2004 the foundation stone was laid by the then Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi). In 2012, the stadium was inaugurated by State PHE Minister Gautom Roy, who was also the president of ACA, and thereafter hosted its first professional game an East Zone Senior Women's Inter-State One-Day Championship match between Assam and Odisha. *The first international match here took place in 2017, a mens T20I between India and Australia and this marked the return of international cricket to Guwahati after seven years. *Womens T20Is were held here in 2019, and England were the visitors. * The rise of Assam in cricket circles coincide with the emergence of a new talent from east, named Riyan Parag, the first male cricketer from the state to go on to play for India and his IPL side Rajasthan Royals made Guwahati their second home. *The Stadium also hosts the Assam Cricket Association Academy. *In 2010, the stadium was officially renamed Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium by the ACA to honour the renowned lyricist, musician, and filmmaker. *An area of 59 bighas of land was allotted to ACA by the State Government and after clearing a portion from encroachers, the construction started. So, this is a story of a dumping ground, converted into a Test venue. * Klorophyll (India) Sports Turf Technology & Construction Private Limited has constructed the main field covering approximately 16800 sq. m., which is first of its kind in the entire country, as it is 100% sand based USGA perched water table profile installed with a detailed subsoil drainage network on grid pattern. The region is subject to very heavy precipitation, so the subsoil drainage system is designed to withstand cloudburst, such that play can start within minutes of a rain stoppage. * The main field has eight pitches on the wicket square, and there are ten pitches on a separate practice wicket area covering more than 2000 sq. m. * In 2020 the IPL had a new venue in Guwahat and was scheduled to host two of Rajasthan Royals' home matches (against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders), making it the first city in the north-east of India to host an IPL match. However, the IPL was shifted to Dubai during the pandemic. The IPL returned to Guwahati in 2023 and Rajasthan Royals played against Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals.

Arrested operatives of ISI-backed terror module planned grenade attacks: Punjab Police
Punjab Police have busted a major terror module with ISI links. Two operatives arrested in Ludhiana were tasked with carrying out grenade attacks on government buildings.

This operation highlights a new trend of Pakistan-based handlers recruiting criminals from other states to operate discreetly.
Haryana Police fast-tracks Anti-Terror Squad plan after Red Fort blast
CHANDIGARH: After the November 10 Red Fort blast that killed 15 people and the exposure of a Faridabad white-collar terror module linked to the attack, the Haryana Police has revived and fast-tracked its long-pending plan to set up an Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) focused on Islamic extremist factions and Khalistani separatist networks. The ATS will prioritise counter-terror operations across the National Capital Region (NCR), covering fourteen Haryana districts, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjar, areas repeatedly flagged in national security alerts. Sources said the dormant proposal has now been pushed into action. The planned ATS will be equipped with three integrated wings, intelligence gathering, complex investigations and field operations, modelled on other elite units in the country. Officials said the squad will concentrate on emerging threats from Islamic extremists, Khalistani outfits and nodes of left-wing extremism. Officials said the ATS marks a generational shift in the states counter-terror approach by integrating intelligence, investigation and operational capacity into a single, high-tech framework. The commandos at the ATS disposal will be trained for precision operations based on information from field and digital surveillance, said a senior police officer, highlighting the units tech-driven vision. A senior official said the ATS headquarters may be set up in Panchkula or Gurugram to ensure synergy with NCR-focused operations and proximity to national agencies. The unit will employ advanced surveillance tools and analytic systems to monitor both online and offline spaces for early signs of mobilisation. Each of the more than 150 police stations in NCR districts will assign a dedicated security agent for daily terror-intelligence collection under the direct supervision of a senior officer. Speaking to the TNIE , Haryana DGP O P Singh said, Our effort is to scan every layer, analogue and digital, for the earliest signs of mobilisation. We want to move from reactive policing to proactive, intelligence-led disruption of threats. ED arrests Al Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in PMLA case amid Red Fort blast probe A critical plank of the ATS is its operational wing, a force of 500 commandos trained in advanced counter-terror tactics, urban warfare and critical incident management, Singh added, emphasising both manpower and modernisation in the proposed units effectiveness. He further said, Our mandate is early neutralisation of threats through layered intelligence, swift investigation and precise operations. Haryana will not be a soft target. ATS is not a one-time exercise but a continuous vigil. This squad will embody our long-term commitment to internal security and public trust. The ATS will work in coordination with central agencies and ATS units in Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Terror knows no boundaries between states. Seamless sharing of actionable leads and synchronised interventions are essential to prevent catastrophic events, said another senior officer involved in the planning. The final plan is still being refined, though officials say the structure will draw from best practices across elite North Indian units. Currently, the Haryana CID handles intelligence gathering related to terrorist activity.

Pant Will Handle It Fine As Indias Captain For Guwahati Test Against SA, Says Ponting
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has backed wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to be fine in handling the captaincy role for India in the upcoming second Test against South Africa, saying his vast experience will serve him well to lead the hosts in the absence of Shubman Gill. Pant will become Indias 38th Test captain when the Guwahati Test begins at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Saturday, after regular skipper Gill was ruled out due to a neck injury sustained in the first game at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. A series-levelling win in Guwahati will also help India to climb to third place in the World Test Championship standings. It's never easy to come in and fill in for someone as a stopgap captain, especially when you've just lost a Test match a few days before. Rishabh is a reasonably experienced Test match player now though as well. I think being a wicket keeper probably helps to see the way that the game is evolving and what's happening in the game. He has done at IPL level now for the last few years, obviously done it in Delhi (Capitals) before that. I think he'll handle it fine, said Ponting on the ICC Review show. Pant and Ponting previously shared a captaincoach dynamic at Delhi Capitals before the former moved to Lucknow Super Giants, while the latter shifted to Punjab Kings. Pant brings considerable leadership experience from whiteball cricket, as well as captaining India in the T20I series against South Africa in June 2022. Though Pant will captain India in red-ball cricket for the first time, he will bank on his experience of leading Delhi in Ranji Trophy and more recently, of leading India A in the two-game series against South Africa A at the BCCI CoE ground in Bengaluru. Ponting is keen to see how Pant would modify his style of play in Guwahati due to the leadership duties. Pant and Ponting previously shared a captaincoach dynamic at Delhi Capitals before the former moved to Lucknow Super Giants, while the latter shifted to Punjab Kings. Pant brings considerable leadership experience from whiteball cricket, as well as captaining India in the T20I series against South Africa in June 2022. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The IPL is probably almost as big as a Test match for a lot of these guys because of the crowds and the scrutiny that comes in an IPL game. I think the modern players are a bit more ready for that and a bit for those leadership roles and the enormity of the situation than they might have been 15 years ago. So I think Rishabh will handle it fine, he added. Article Source: IANS
Don't wish to come across as greedy by demanding Bihar deputy CM's post: Chirag Paswan
PATNA: Union minister Chirag Paswan on Friday asserted that he did not wish to come across as greedy by demanding the deputy chief ministers post, as he thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allocating two berths to his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) in the new Bihar cabinet. Addressing a press conference here, Paswan also said he wished to expand the partys footprint beyond Bihar as an NDA partner in states like West Bengal, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. Our party won 19 seats out of the 29 we were given as part of the seat-sharing arrangements within the NDA. We contested those seats which were considered weak for the alliance. This was possible because of the peoples blessings and the support of the Prime Minister to our party. Now, the LJP (RV) has been given two berths in the new cabinet in Bihar. Its enough. How much more greedy can Chirag Paswan be? the Union minister said. The NDA stormed back to power in Bihar, winning 202 seats in the 243-member assembly, with the BJP bagging 89, JD(U) 85, LJP(RV) 19, HAM 5, and RLM 4. In 2021, there was not one person around me. My party was split And in 2024, the PM put faith in the party and gave us five seats to contest in the Lok Sabha polls. We won all five seats. If I now ask for something from the alliance, then no one will be more greedy than me, Paswan said, when queried whether he would demand the post of deputy CM. On the partys expansion plans, the Hajipur MP said, After winning 19 seats in the recently concluded assembly polls in Bihar, we are now seriously preparing to expand the partys base in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. We will contest the upcoming assembly elections there as part of the NDA.

Haryana man, three others arrested for killing sister over inter-caste marriage
CHANDIGARH: Police in Haryana on Thursday arrested a man and three of his associates for allegedly murdering his 23-year-old sister over inter-caste marraige, and for reportedly planning to kill her husband next. The arrests were made after an encounter on the Ladhot-Bohar road in Rohtak. The victim, 23-year-old woman Sapna, was allegedly shot dead by her brother and his friends at her in-laws house at Kahni village in Rohtak on Wednesday night. Her brother-in-law, Sahil, sustained bullet injuries during the attack and is undergoing treatment at the PGIMS at Rohtak. Sapna had married Suraj, an auto driver, about three and a half years ago against their families wishes. The couple, who have a daughter, knew each other since school. The couple had initially moved away from their native Kahani village but had returned recently. On Wednesday night around 9.40 pm, Sapna's brother Sanju, accompanied by three friends, allegedly stormed into Sapnas house and opened fire.Sapna died on the spot, while Surajs brother Sahil sustained injuries. Suraj was not at home at the time of the attack. Haryana DGP, OP Singh, said that around midnight, the police received information that the accused was preparing to target Suraj next and could be intercepted on Ladot-Bohar Road. Acting swiftly on the input, a naka was established on LadotBohar Road and the accused were subsequently cornered by the police team. On being surrounded, the accused started firing. Then in self defense, the police retaliated. During the exchange of firing between police and criminals, all four accused sustained bullet injuries. They were immediately shifted to PGIMS Rohtak for treatment, he said. The accused have been identified as Sanju, Rahul -- both from Kahni village in Rohtak -- and Ankit alias Baba and Gaurav of Rukhi village in Sonepat district. Four pistols, ten live cartridges, two magazines and a motorcycle were recovered from their possession. The tragic incident took place after a period of relative calm in the agrarian state which remains bound to age-old traditions that still deny many adults the freedom to choose their partners. On June 19 last year, 20-year-old Komal, belonging to Gujjar Community was allegedly shot dead by her teenage brother in Jind who was angry over her getting married to a SC youth of Kaithal. On June 3, 2024, a 27-year-old Saravjeet Kaur of Nejadela Kalan village in Sirsa district was killed by her brother and father who were annoyed with her love affair with Karan from a nearby village. The couple was from the same caste. The parents did not agree with her love and strangled her and made a fake story of heart attack. On June 24 last year , Tejbir of Badala village and Meena of Sultanpur village was shot dead in Hansi town by two unidentified men in a suspected case of honour killing. On June 24, 2021, Vinay and his wife Kiran Dahiya of Gopalpura village in Sonipat, were shot by the girl's family as it was against their decision to marry in the same gotra. The couple had married in August 2020 and had been living in hiding in a Delhi village due to severe threat from the girl's family for a year. Even their plea before the Punjab and Haryana High Court for security could not save their life. On January 2, 2021, Neeraj was murdered allegedly by his brother-in-law and his accomplice in Panipat. He had married Komal in November 2020 who lived near his house. However, the girl's family did not agree to the alliance because the boy was from a different caste.

Nineteen years and counting: Nitishs unbroken grip on Bihar
On Thursday, Nitish Kumar achieved yet another rare political milestone, becoming Bihars longest-serving chief minister, despite his party repeatedly finishing as the second-largest partner in both the Mahagathbandhan and NDA alliances in recent times. With this latest swearing-in , he joins the group of Indias ten longest-serving chief ministersa list long dominated by political stalwarts such as Sikkims Pawan Kumar Chamling and Odishas Naveen Patnaik. Chamling served as chief minister for 25 years, while Patnaik has held office for 24 years. West Bengals Jyoti Basu governed for more than 23 years, and Arunachal Pradeshs Gegong Apang for over 22 years. Mizorams Lal Thanhawla also crossed the 22-year mark, while Himachal Pradeshs Virbhadra Singh served more than 21 years. Tripuras Manik Sarkar held office for 19 years. Nitish Kumar, similarly, has now completed roughly 19 years as Bihars chief minister. Tamil Nadus M. Karunanidhi served for more than 18 years, and Punjabs Parkash Singh Badal is also credited with over 18 years in office. In Bihar, however, what distinguishes Nitish Kumar most is his repeated return to the top post, even after shifting between alliances. While Prime Minister Modi promotes the mantra of Sabka Vikas with Sabka Saath through Sabka Prayas, Nitish Kumar is often described as Sabka CM. Political observers in the state believe this contributes to his steady influence among minority voters. He has again included a Muslim minister in his cabinet, and the JD(U) fielded four Muslim candidates in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections. Another point of alignment between him and Prime Minister Modi is his refusal to allow family members to hold roles within the JD(U), reflecting his firm stance against dynastic politicssomething that contrasts with many parties in the Mahagathbandhan. Just as Modi maintains a stance of zero tolerance for corruption and nepotism, Nitish Kumar has ensured that neither corruption, nepotism, nor communalism gains a foothold in his administration. The political chemistry between Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi within the NDA is often regarded as one of the most dependable partnerships in Bihar. Both leaders have no family members active in politics and are widely seen by the public as hardworking, sincere, and trustworthy.

Punjab police to seek custody of Anmol Bishnoi after NIA interrogation
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab police will be seeking custody of deported gangster Anmol Bishnoi after the National Investigation Agency has completed interrogating him, a senior state police official said on condition of anonymity. The Punjab Police will move to court and seek his custody to break the criminal nexus being run in the state, the source added. As per state police records, Anmol is named as an accused in 16 FIRs registered across Punjab between October 2012 and July 2025, including charges of murder, extortion, robbery, attempt to murder, and Arms Act in Punjab. Anmol Bishnoi has been deported from the United States and was arrested by the National Investigation Agency(NIA) for his alleged key role in the murder of Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewal. Several questions remain unanswered despite a charge sheet being filed in the Sidhu Moosewala case, sources said. Anmols interrogation, they believe, will be crucial in filling these gaps and uncovering the full extent of the conspiracy. He is accused of being a key conspirator in the murder of Sidhu, as he provided logistical support and weapons to the assailants who shot the singer dead at his native village in Mansa on May 29, 2022. Anmol is a key conspirator along with Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi. We will bring him on a production warrant, he added. In 2012, the first case was registered on Anmol at Abohar City Police Station on charges of attempt to murder, voluntary causing grievous injury, acts with intention and arms act. Then two years later, he was booked at the Sadar Police Station at Abohar on charges of trespass, theft, and Arms Act. Anmol hails from Dutarawali village in the Fazilka district of Punjab. Most of the FIRs are registered against him in Abohar and Fazilka. Sources said that on June 15, 2022, Punjab Police shared the first input with the Intelligence Bureau that Anmol fled to Dubai between November 19 and November 20, 2021, from Jaipur using a fake passport in the name of Bhanu Pratap, a resident of Sector 82, Faridabad, Haryana, with the fathers name mentioned as Rakesh. In reality, his father is Lovinder Bishnoi, and he is a resident of Dutranwali village in Fazilka. Afterwards, a case was later registered at the Punjab State Crime Police Station, Mohali, against him on charges of forgery, forgery of public records, using a forged document, criminal conspiracy, extortion, and under sections of the Passports Act for obtaining a passport by furnishing fake particulars. Later, a court issued his open warrants in this case, said sources. On June 24, 2022, the Bureau of Immigration issued a look-out circular for Anmol on the request of Punjab Police and on July 20, the same year state home department wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs requesting the initiation of the process for the arrest and deportation. Sources said that the NIA yesterday arrested him in a case registered in 2022 to investigate an alleged nexus between criminal gangs in India and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a designated terrorist organisation, to raise funds, recruit youths and carry out terror strikes in the country.

Punjab police arrest two in connection with RSS leader's son's murder plot
CHANDIGARH: Four days after 32-year-old Naveen Arora, son of a senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary and grandson of late Dina Nath, a senior RSS leader and social worker, was shot dead in Ferozepur district, Punjab Police on Tuesday arrested two of the five men involved in plotting and executing the killing. Senior Superintendent of Police, Ferozepur, Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said the motive for the killing was yet to be ascertained. He said the conspiracy to kill Arora was hatched on 13 November during the birthday party of a youth, Kanav, at Basti Bhatian Wali. It was there that Jatin Kali of Badhi Jaimal Singh village made the plan and offered Rs 1 lakh to Kanav, Badal, Harsh and another suspect whose identity the police have withheld to prevent any compromise in the investigation. Then the accused mapped Aroras daily routine. After that, two teams were formed, one of Kanav and Harsh, and the other of Badal and his accomplice, so that if Naveen altered his route to return home, the second team could execute the plan. Before killing Arora, the alleged accused went to Uttar Pradesh and procured weapons, said Sidhu, adding that the weapon used in the crime is yet to be recovered. He said Kanav and Harsh have been arrested, and efforts are on to trace the three other accused. The police is investigating all the angles, including the claim by a terror outfit, which appears dubious, to identify what triggered the killing, said Sidhu. Interestingly, on Monday, a little-known pro-Khalistan outfit, Sher-e-Punjab Brigade, issued a statement on social media claiming responsibility for the killing. The incident occurred around 7 pm on 15 November when Naveen Arora, son of senior RSS leader Baldev Raj Arora, who ran a dupatta shop in the main bazaar of Ferozepur, was walking to his residence near Dr Sadhu Chand Chowk. The assailants fired at him near Budhwara Wala Mohalla. He died on the spot.
