LUDHIANA, Punjab—Ludhiana police have reportedly made another arrest in relation to the attack on Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale. Four were arrested yesterday, May 18, in relation to the attack. Police have made these arrests on the basis of CCTV footages taken into possession from the toll plazas situated on the Delhi-Ludhiana road.
Ludhiana Police Commissioner Jatinder Singh Aulakh told Sikh24 on May 19 that the police have registered an FIR on complaint of Dhadrianwala’s driver against unidentified assailants under sections 302/307/427/148/149/25/27/54/59 of Cr. P.C. (Code of Criminal Procedure). He added that a Special Investigation Team has been appointed to probe the case.
“We are treating this case as high priority and several senior officials, including DCP Dhruman Nimble, ADCP Balkar Singh, ACP Rupinder Kaur Sran and SHO Mohammad Zameel have been included in the Special Investigation Team,” he added.
Commissioner Aulakh claimed that all the accused involved in deadly attack have been identified and five have been arrested. While identification of the fifth assailant has not been made public, Aulakh identified the four arrested yesterday as Jaspreet Singh, Gagandeep Singh, Hardev Singh and Manjit Singh. “Initial reports have revealed that the assailants attacked Bhai Dhadrianwala for his bad remarks against Damdami Taksal Chief Baba Harnam Singh Ji Dhumma,” he added.
He added that the CCTV footages have revealed that the assailants had brought most of the tent equipment along with them. “One of the jeep is registered in Delhi and the tent equipment could be seen clearly in it from the toll plaza footage,” he added.
Meanwhile, Punjab Government has offered security to Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale, however the latter has refused to take any security. “I don’t feel right traveling as a high profile person where there are police jeeps infront and behind me. I have postponed all programs for the time being hence there is no need for security,” Bhai Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale said earlier today.
“I know the police have arrested a few people and the Government has advised me that all investigations will be completed shortly. However at this point, I am not going to make any personal statement, rather, I will wait for the Government to publicize all details about the culprits. I don’t want to accuse anyone, and the Government must probe and give details about the masterminds of the assassination plot,” he said.
