Gangsters claim responsibility for Miani killing

The responsibility for the sensational murder in Miani has been claimed by gangsters Jashal Chambal and Gurlal Rudiana. The claim was made through a post on social media platform, allegedly uploaded from Gurlal Rudiana’s account, in which the gangsters openly took responsibility for the crime.

In the post, the gangsters alleged that Balwinder Singh had been informing the police about their associates and had caused them losses. The post also carried a threat, warning that anyone maintaining relations with those opposing them would meet the same result. The post, however, was deleted from the account shortly after it surfaced.

On Thursday, two of the three unidentified youths, who arrived on a motorcycle, opened fire at Satkartar Hardware shop in Miani, targeting shop owner Balwinder Singh and his friend Lakhwinder Singh. A total of seven rounds were fired. Balwinder Singh died on the spot after being hit in the chest, while Lakhwinder Singh sustained a gunshot injury to his shoulder and was seriously injured. He is currently undergoing treatment at the Civil Hospital, Tanda.
