Armed men open fire at house in Bainka village
Panic gripped Bainka village on the intervening night of January 14-15 when two armed men, said to be associates of gangster Prabh Dasuwal, fired at the house of an engineer, Harpal Singh. The victim Harpal Singh, in his complaint to the Bhikhiwind police, said that his family members were asleep in the house when two armed men fired at the gate of his residence which was captured in the CCTV cameras installed by him in the house.
Harpal Singh said that gangster Prabh Dasuwal had been demanding an extortion money of Rs 30 lakh through SMS and WhatsApp calls and was also threatening to kill him and his family in case he refused to oblige him.
The border area is one of the worst affected with extortion calls by gangster Prabh Dasuwal who himself is a resident of Dasuwal, which is also the native village of Sukhdev Singh Babbar, the self-styled ‘general’ of Khalistani terrorist outfit, Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). A case has been registered.
