Three Arrested in Punjab Police Officer Shooting Linked to Pakistan-Based Handlers
Punjab Police arrested three men—Simranjit Singh, Baljit Singh, and Baljit Singh alias Gori—in connection with an October 4 attack on GRP Assistant Sub-Inspector Sukhchain Singh near Jagdev Kalan. The officer was shot in the arm by motorcycle-borne assailants. Police allege the attackers acted under direction from Pakistan-based ISI handlers and were motivated by money.
