Chandigarh, Nov 8
In a major breakthrough, Punjab Police have arrested two people involved in the murder of Italy-based Malkit Singh in Amritsar and recovered five sophisticated weapons from their possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav here on Saturday.
Those arrested have been identified as Bikramjit Singh, alias Bikram, and Karanbir Singh. The recovered weapons include one foreign-made .30 caliber PX5 pistol, one .30 caliber pistol, one foreign-made .45 caliber pistol, one .32 caliber pistol and one revolver along with 20 cartridges from their possession.
DGP Yadav said preliminary investigation has revealed that the arrested accused painted inflammatory slogans aimed at inciting public unrest and promoting anti-national sentiments.
Evidence indicates they were receiving foreign funding for these unlawful activities, he said.
