Two shooters accused in the January 4 murder of Valtoha sarpanch Jarmal Singh have been arrested in Chhattisgarh, with assistance from local police. This brings the total arrests to seven, including five apprehended in Punjab. The police investigation suggests the murder was masterminded by individuals based abroad, who provided funding and weapons. Foreign-based gangsters have claimed responsibility on social media, alleging prior attempts on the sarpanch's life. One key conspirator was previously killed in a police encounter.
