DERA FOLLOWER’S MURDER: TWO PUNJAB MODULE SHOOTERS HELD

BATHINDA : A week after six assailants shot dead Pardeep Singh, a Dera Sacha Sauda follower accused in the 2015 Bargari sacrilege cases, Punjab Police arrested two shooters, Manpreet Singh Manni and Bhupinder Singh Goldy, in Hoshiarpur on Thursday.

Both were nabbed when they were preparing to flee to the temple town of Chintpurni in Himachal Pradesh, Faridkot senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rajpal Singh said.

“Following a specific intelligence input, the two were arrested from the outskirts of Hoshiarpur. Both were staying in Hoshiarpur for 2-3 days. They were planning to reach Chintpurni in a bus to avoid being recognised,” said the SSP.
