The UT police will soon bring shooter Nitin Nahar on production warrant. Nitin is a key shooter involved in the firing at the house of hotelier Rakesh Singla, brother of liquor baron Arvind Singla.

Nitin, a resident of Indra Colony, Jhabal Road, Amritsar, was apprehended by the Punjab police two days ago from near Colour Resorts, Attari Road, Amritsar, along with his accomplice Bikramjit Singh, who had reportedly provided him a safe hideout.

Five assailants had opened indiscriminate fire at businessman and hotelier Rakesh Singla’s house in Sector 33 on May 31. At least 17 bullets were fired at the house. The assailants had come looking for Rakesh’s brother Arvind Singla, who is an established liquor contractor.

So far, two shooters and several aides involved in the crime have been arrested.
