Police teams have also recovered two pistols— including one .30 bore pistol and one .32 bore pistol— along with four live cartridges from the possession of arrested accused Lovjeet Labha, he added.

The DGP said that police teams have carried out the investigation in a professional and scientific manner to solve the case. Further investigations are on to establish backward and forward linkages in the this case, he said.

Sharing operation details, AIG CI Bathinda Avneet Kaur Sidhu said that police teams had received intel-inputs about the presence of the suspected person at village Khane ki Dhab and village Ena Khera. Acting swiftly, police teams from CIA Bathinda in a joint operation with Sri Muktsar Sahib Police laid a trap and apprehended accused Lovejeet Singh from near Sua Pul in village Ena Khera, she added.

SSP Sri Muktsar Sahib Tushar Gupta said that in this regard, a case FIR no. 88 dated 16.08.2024 has been registered under section 25 of the Arms Act at Police Station Sadar Malout in Sri Muktsar Sahib.
