Three nabbed with illegal weapon

The Police Division 6 claimed to have arrested three miscreants and recovered an illegal .32 bore pistol along with four rounds from their possession.

The suspects were identified as Navdeep Singh, alias Navi, a resident of New Janta Nagar, Balwant Singh of Shimlapuri and Nitish Kumar of Preet Nagar.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Satwinder Singh Virk in a statement issued stated that on February 23, the suspects had fired shots at the house of Sonia Rani. A CCTV camera had also captured the miscreants. A case was already registered against the unidentified persons and during investigation, the suspects were identified.

Virk said the suspects had some enmity with the house owner, Johny, at present lodged in jail, (who is a kin of Sonia Rani) due to which they opened fire at the house.

Navdeep is facing five criminal cases while Nitish and Balwant are also facing one case each.
