Mohali, Punjab, India: In an encounter conducted by the Special Cell of Punjab Police, three contract killers were apprehended in Mullanpur, Mohali. According to police sources, the trio had extorted lakhs of rupees for committing a murder related to a family dispute. When the police demanded their surrender, they opened fire, leading to a confrontation. This incident follows recent criminal activity, including a murder case in Dera Bassi.
The criminals identified as Akshar, Naresh Kumar, and Sunil Kumar have connections with Haryana, as revealed by the police. Law enforcement had been monitoring their activities for a considerable period, and both Punjab and Haryana Police were actively involved in the operation.
The encounter took place in Mullanpur, where the contract killers were hiding. The police had been pursuing them in connection to a recent murder case involving a woman in Dera Bassi.
As tensions escalated due to a family dispute, the trio resorted to violence, allegedly committing the murder for substantial monetary gain. The police, having tracked their movements, cornered them and called for their surrender. In a dramatic turn of events, the criminals chose to resist, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
This incident echoes a similar episode in Dera Bassi, where the criminals were reportedly involved in the murder of a woman. The police had been actively investigating the case, leading to the recent encounter in Mohali.
The Special Cell of Punjab Police has successfully neutralized the threat posed by these contract killers, ensuring the safety of the community. Law enforcement agencies are now conducting further investigations to unravel any potential links these criminals may have to other criminal activities in the region.
