In another incident, a police team at Focal Point Chowk intercepted Shamsher coming from service road Amritsar on a bike. “When police officers signalled him to stop, he instead of stopping turned the bike in the opposite direction, following which, police teams nabbed him,” the SHO said, adding when he was asked about bike papers, he confessed that he had stolen the bike. A case under sections 379, 411 of the IPC has been registered against him.
