A Ferozepur resident, whose pistol was allegedly used to open fire outside a nightclub in Sector 26 last month, has been arrested by the UT police. The suspect, identified as Partap (25), was not present at the spot.
The police said Partap’s pistol was used in the crime by Deepu. “We have recovered the pistol and added Section 212 (harbouring offender) of the IPC to the case,” said a police official.
In the incident that happened on October 30, Simarpreet of Ambala, was injured.
Four occupants of an i20 car had an argument with occupants of an Alto over “wrong parking” near Bargain Booze.
The victim, along with his cousin, was leaving after having dinner. The victim started tying the laces of his shoes by keeping his feet on the bonnet of the i20 car. The suspects thought that the victim was accompanying the youths riding the Alto car following which they entered into an argument with him. One of the suspects pulled out a gun and fired two shots, one of which hit the victim on his left leg. All the suspects had managed to escape from the spot. — TNS
