Punjab police claims cracking ex-sarpanch murder case

The investigation, involving the anti-gangster task force (AGTF) and counter-intelligence units, spanned Punjab, Delhi, Maharashtra, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh.

Disclosing the arrest, Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav, in a press conference, said the hit was masterminded by handlers based abroad.

The key breakthrough came when a specialised team tracked the two shooters, Sukhraj Singh and Karmjit Singh, to a hideout in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
