A cross-case was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by the owner of a tattoo shop where the shooting incident took place. The case was registered against six persons, including the deceased, Gurjinder Singh, alias Guri, Nadda, alias Sahba, alias Sarabjit, Lakha, Amarjit and Dev Sharma, under Sections 109, 191 (3) and 190 of the BNS and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.
“All suspects belong to a gang. The incident took place due to some internal strife,” said the SSP, adding that it was in fact Ashu who had come to attack Yuvraj, Amrik Singh and Shivam Sehgal along with his friends. “However, during the shootout, one of the bullets hit Ashu who died on the spot,” said the SSP.
