Amritsar, March 17
The Civil Lines police today claimed to have arrested four youth allegedly involved in car smashing incident on RB Rattan Chand Road in the Mall road area on March 14 evening.
Those arrested were identified as Harpreet Singh, Deepak Kumar, Yousuf and Lakhwinder Singh. Sukhwinder Singh Randhawa, SHO, Civil Lines police, said there were eight more persons, including the master mind, involved in the incident, who were yet to be arrested.
However, the SHO did not divulge the identity of those who were on the run.
The police have managed to identify the culprits from the motorcycle No. PB-02-CP-0647, which was noted by the parents of the minor girl, who was injured in a road mishap, that occurred in the afternoon on the same day. This had led to a brawl between the family members of the girl and the accused, who had threatened to teach them a lesson. The incident apparently was the fallout of this minor altercation.
