UP Panchayat Demands Arrest of Absconding Shooters in Ankit Balyan Murder Case
A community panchayat in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, has demanded the immediate arrest of two absconding shooters and other conspirators in the murder of Haryanvi singer Ankit Balyan. The panchayat raised concerns over alleged lack of cooperation from Haryana Police and plans to meet Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Police are seeking custody of a jailed conspirator and conducting raids for the absconding suspects, who carry rewards. Balyan was shot dead on August 26 after leaving a gym in Shamli.
