Amritsar police foil gangster plot, capture Henchmen in fierce encounter

Amritsar (The Uttam Hindu) : The police have apprehended two suspected gangsters following an encounter that resulted in one of them being injured. The incident took place around 3:30 a.m. near Taran Wala Pul in Amritsar. The suspects had previously fired multiple gunshots outside the home of a soda maker, Jasdeep Singh, also known as Sajan, in the Sundar Nagar area about four days prior.

Portugal-based gangster Mann Ghanshampuria claimed responsibility for the shooting, which stemmed from ongoing gang rivalry. While police remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident, an officer confirmed the arrests.

The encounter unfolded when law enforcement, acting on a tip-off, located the suspects hiding in the New Amritsar area as they attempted to flee to Tarn Taran. During the chase, the accused reportedly fired at the police, prompting a retaliatory response that left one suspect injured. The other managed to escape into the darkness but was later captured by authorities. Police also seized two pistols from the suspects.
