**Amritsar Police Successfully Solve Murder Case of AAP Sarpanch**
The Amritsar Police have made significant progress in the investigation of the murder of Jarmal Singh, a village sarpanch affiliated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab. Senior police officials announced on Monday that seven individuals, including two alleged shooters, have been apprehended in connection with the case. Singh was tragically shot by a group of assailants at a wedding venue in Amritsar on January 4.
During a press conference, Punjab’s Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav revealed that the investigation has identified the purported mastermind behind the attack as Prabhdeep Singh, also known as Prabh Dasuwal, who is currently at large. Following the murder, Dasuwal reportedly claimed responsibility, and police have established that a longstanding enmity between him and the victim was the motive for the crime.
The two shooters, identified as Sukhraj Singh alias Gunga and Karamjeet Singh, were arrested in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. DGP Yadav credited their capture to effective interstate coordination, intelligence-led tracking, and collaboration with central agencies. The suspects had been evading law enforcement by frequently changing locations across multiple states, including Maharashtra, Delhi, Bihar, Punjab, and Chhattisgarh, while using forged Aadhaar cards to conceal their identities.
In addition to the shooters, five other individuals involved in the conspiracy have been arrested across various locations in Punjab. These accomplices provided essential logistical support, including shelter, weapons, and transportation for the shooters. Notably, the investigation revealed that the shooters and their logistical supporters did not know each other and acted independently, following Dasuwal’s directives.
DGP Yadav emphasized that the swift resolution of this case represents a significant blow to organized crime in Punjab, asserting that criminals will find no refuge within the state. He also noted that just days after the murder, a man with alleged connections to the case was killed in an encounter with police in Tarn Taran district.
