Ferozepur, April 18
Four days after an Akali worker was shot in Guruharsahai, five persons have been arrested here. SSP Bhagirath Singh Meena said the accused — Jaswinder Singh, Gurdev Singh, Sukhwinder Singh, Satnam Singh, Gurwinder Singh, Paramjit Singh, Budh Parkash, Manjit Singh and Bagicha Singh — had shot Mohinder Singh on April 14 when he was on way to a market with his brother Nirmal Singh and son Gurcharan Singh.
Meena said they killed Mohinder due to an old rivalry over seven-kanal land.
"A case under Sections 302, 307, 341, 323, 148 and 149 of the IPC and 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act has been registered against all accused. Paramjit and Bagicha were arrested on April 15, while Jaswinder, Sukhwinder and Gurdev were arrested today. The rest will be nabbed soon," the SSP said.
Members of Mohinder's family had been holding a protest for the past three days outside the Guruharsahai police station, demanding arrest of the accused. They lifted the dharna yesterday after SP (H) Gurpreet Singh Cheema assured them of strict action at the earliest.— OC
