Two Alleged Doni Bal Gang Shooters Killed in Ludhiana Police Encounter
Two alleged shooters linked to foreign-based gangster Doni Bal were killed in a police encounter near Atam Nagar, Ludhiana, while reportedly planning to attack a blood donation camp held in memory of Congress leader Ravi Khwajke. The suspects, identified as Karanjot Singh and Sandeep Singh from Amritsar, opened fire on police who had set up a checkpoint based on intelligence. Police recovered three automatic pistols and around 50 rounds. Doni Bal is believed to control the gang following the death of previous leader Davinder Bambiha in 2016.
