Chandigarh Police Charge Nine in Medical Store Cashier Murder Linked to Cross-Border Crime
Chandigarh Police have charged nine individuals in the June 13 murder of Jankidas, a medical store cashier mistakenly targeted by shooters linked to gangster Goldy Dhillon. Investigations revealed the crime involved cross-border smuggling of drugs, fake currency, and weapons, coordinated via encrypted communication apps. Arrests were made in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, uncovering a network operating across northern states. The shooters fired 13 bullets, and the weapon used was traced to foreign-based handlers involved in smuggling.
