Two Shooters Arrested in Mad Sandhu Murder Case and Foiled Bollywood Actor Attack PlotPreviousNext

Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two shooters linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, foiling planned attacks on a Delhi businessman and a Bollywood actor in Mumbai. One suspect, Deepak Singh, was wanted for the October 3 murder of Punjab influencer Mad Sandhu and was instructed to target the actor over alleged anti-Sikh remarks related to 1984. The other, Vikas Thakur, was arrested in Delhi while preparing an extortion-related shooting. Both arrests followed intelligence-led operations in Delhi and Mumbai.
