The arrested suspects have been identified as Anmolpreet Singh alias Vishal (23), a resident of Bhadorh in Barnala, and Navjot Singh alias Neetu (26), a resident of Nijjar Road in Kharar. Police said the two were the shooters who killed Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau on 9 October 2024 in Faridkot.
Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav confirmed the arrests in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “In a major breakthrough, #SSOC Mohali in a joint operation with #AGTF, & @FaridkotPolice, has apprehended two key operatives of #Canada-based Arsh Dalla involved in the murder of Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau in #Faridkot.”
DGP Yadav further revealed that the investigation had uncovered links between the arrested individuals and another murder. “Investigations reveal that the accused also killed Jaswant Singh Gill on November 7, 2024, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh under directions from Arsh Dalla,” he wrote.
