Amritsar, Feb. 15 -- Punjab Police on Friday submitted the challan against former militant Narain Singh Chaura in the Sukhbir Singh Badal assassination attempt case.

Chaura had fired at the former Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president from close range when the latter was undergoing tankhah (religious punishment) outside the Golden Temple on December 4 for the mistakes committed by his party when it was in power in Punjab from 2007 and 2017.

The bullet had narrowly missed Sukhbir after policemen in plainclothes overpowered Chaura.

In the challan, police stated that Chaura was carrying the pistol with an intention to kill Sukhbir.
