Two Arrested in Bathinda Murder Case, Weapons Seized
Punjab Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), along with Bathinda Police, arrested two associates of deceased criminal Overseer Singh. The police recovered two .32 bore pistols and five cartridges from them. DGP Gaurav Yadav confirmed the arrests on Monday.
The accused have been identified as Lakhwinder Singh Gill from Burj Gill village and Avtar Singh alias Dhillon from Bhai Rupa village in Bathinda. Their arrest follows the earlier detention of four members of the Gurpreet Sekhon Gang, who were involved in Overseer Singh’s murder.
Murder Linked to Personal Enmity
Overseer Singh, a known history-sheeter from Bhai Rupa, was shot dead in his village on February 5 at 4 a.m. His neighbor and associates killed him due to personal enmity.
