A high-level police shake-up rocks Punjab after sarpanch Harbhinder Singh’s assassination at a village wedding. DGP Gaurav Yadav held DSP Patti and Sarhali SHO accountable for security failures, suspending them immediately as CM Bhagwant Mann monitors developments closely.
The deadly ambush occurred at Sidhu Farm during festivities. Unidentified shooters pumped bullets into Harbhinder, who died while being rushed for treatment. One pursuer sustained leg injuries in retaliatory firing and is hospitalized.
DGP Yadav tasked DIG Ferozepur Snehdeep Sharma and SSP Tarn Taran Surendra Lamba with round-the-clock probe oversight. Four CCTV teams and a joint FSL unit are dissecting evidence meticulously.
SSP Lamba ruled out threats or extortion, honing in on personal vendetta. ‘Every angle is under scientific scrutiny for airtight conviction,’ he declared. Punjab’s law enforcement vows relentless pursuit to uphold justice and public safety.
