Man booked for pointing gun at youth

Ludhiana, August 31

A man has been booked for pointing a gun at a youth and threatening to kill him. The accused reportedly wanted the youth to take back a case registered by his father.

Complainant Jatinderpal Singh, a resident of Dhande village in Samrala, told the police that on August 29, his son had gone to Rohle village on a scooter to collect some registers and a map. When his son reached Dhande village, a youth suddenly came out of the bushes and forcibly stopped his son.

“The accused immediately pointed a pistol at my son and told him to take back a case registered by me against them. He even told my son that he was not just brandishing the weapon but would use it if necessary. He categorically issued warning to my son that if his father would not take back the case, then he would kill him definitely,” revealed the complainant.

He added that he then submitted a complaint at the Samrala police station, following which a case had been registered against the unknown person. He requested the police to identify the suspect immediately and put him behind the bars.

Investigating officer ASI Harjinder Singh said after registering a case, further investigation had been launched in the case.

The police said once the suspect was identified and arrested, only then the fact could be ascertained that whether the weapon possessed by the suspect was original or a toy weapon.
