Firing at NRI’s house case: One arrested

Over a month after the incident in which several persons fired outside an NRI’s house located in Jujhar Nagar area here, the police have arrested the prime suspect, identified as Anmol Singh Gill, of Ranjit Avenue area.

He was arrested on the complaint of Rupinder Kaur, an elderly woman living in the house. The incident occurred on November 21 last year. She found the bullet marks outside the house.

Following an initial probe, the police found that the incident was the outcome of an old enmity. According to the police, Rupinder Kaur’s two grandsons – Gursher Singh and Tanroj Singh — live in Canada. He said when Tanroj lived here, he allegedly had a relationship with a girlfriend of prime suspect Anmol Gill. This led to an enmity between them.

He said when Tanroj went to Canada, Anmol with the help of his friends over there kidnapped and thrashed him. This led to the registration of an FIR against Anmol’s unidentified accomplices in Canada.

Nine persons were booked by the Canada police, out of whom three were out on bail while the remaining were in jail. He said in order to pressurize Tanroj for a compromise, a fake complaint was lodged against him by a woman. Even then he did not agree to reach a compromise. Then accused Anmol Singh got firing conducted outside his residence in Jhujhar Avenue on November 21 leading to the registration of an FIR at the Cantonment police station here.
