Weapons Seized

- Two foreign-made .45 caliber pistols

Murder of Malkit Singh
Malkit Singh, who had been residing in Italy, was tragically murdered on the evening of November 1. Authorities report that while he was sowing wheat with his father in Dhariwal village, he was shot by two unidentified assailants.
He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. Initial investigations suggest the suspects acted under the influence of foreign handlers, with Bikram acquiring weapons from overseas to orchestrate violent acts in Punjab.
Further Investigation
Based on information provided by Bikramjit Singh, police were able to locate and arrest Karanbir Singh at a location near Kukranwala. The investigation continues as officers delve deeper into the network surrounding these suspects.
