Moga, December 17
Police have arrested three members of the Bambiha gang following an encounter in Punjab’s Moga on Sunday.
Moga CIA inspector Daljit Singh said a police team asked the accused persons — Moga residents Shankar Rajput and Jashan, and Dharamkot resident Navdeep Singh — on a bike to stop during a checking near Badhni but they tried to flee, prompting the cops to chase them.
The trio then left their bike and entered a nearby farm and opened fire at the police team who retaliated, said Singh, adding that one of the accused and a police constable sustained injuries in the crossfire.
Later, the police team successfully arrested all three accused, said the official.
