The court of chief judicial magistrate Preeti Sukhija in Malout sent Lawrence Bishnoi to a ten-day police remand in an attempt to murder case on Monday. Bishnoi is an accused in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case.
Senior Superintendent of Police, Moga, Gulneet Singh Khurana, said that Bishnoi was brought for questioning in an attempt to murder case filed in December 2021 in which the police had arrested a sharpshooter from Bishnoi’s gang, Monu Dagar.
“We have got gangster Lawrence Bishnoi 10 days’ police remand in an attempt to murder case of 2021. An accused arrested in this case had named him in the police interrogation. He will be questioned in this case,” said Gulneet Singh Khurana, SSP, Moga.
Bishnoi was produced in court through video surveillance by Moga police. The Moga police claim that Canada-based Goldy Brar sent two shooters, Jodhajit Singh and Monu Dagar, to kill Jatinder Kumar Neela on the orders of Bishnoi.
On 1 December 2021, Dagar and Jodha from Amritsar arrived on a bike, armed with two Zigana eagle pistols, and opened fire at Sunil Dhamija and his son Pratham Dhamija after mistaking Sunil for his brother Jatinder Neela.
An FIR was lodged under section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC, sections 54, 59, 25 (arms manufacture, sale, repair, etc) of the Arms Act and section 22 of the (NDPS) Act at the Moga city police station.
