Notorious gangster and sharp shooter Amit Malik, alias Bhura, was brought on a production warrant by the Zirakpur police here today with an aim to probe his role in an attempt-to-murder case registered against his Delhi-based brother Vineet Malik.

The victim had sustained a bullet injury near his right ear and was rushed to the PGI, Chandigarh. Two accomplices of Vineet —Naveen Kumar and Raman — were also arrested by the police.

Earlier in the day, amid tight security, a team of 15 police personnel, took Bhura to the court of the Judicial Magistrate. He was remanded in police custody till November 30. Later, he was taken to the Community Health Centre, Dhakoli, for a medical check-up.
