The Ludhiana police arrested Sherry Jolly, who pointed a pistol at a cloth merchant of Akalgarh Market in the city on Wednesday, along with his companion Karwal.

The complainant told the police that he had been buying stock of garments from Jolly for the past three years. On April 16, he ordered garments and when the same arrived, the number of garments was found less than the ordered quantity.
“I called Jolly and told him about the matter. After which, he created a ruckus over the phone. Yesterday, when I was in my shop, Jolly and his companion entered the shop and started abusing me.
