Anmol Bishnoi, aide booked for Samrala youth's murder
Ludhiana, Nov. 6 -- Two days after 22-year-old Gurwinder Singh alias Kinda was shot dead by bike-borne assailants in Manki village, Samrala, the police booked Anmol Bishnoi, brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and his aide, Ravi Rajgarh, after a social media post surfaced claiming responsibility for the killing.
On November 3 night, Gurwinder, who was sitting along with his friends Dharampal and Lovepreet Singh on a culvert near the village, was killed by armed assailants who arrived on two motorcycles and opened fire. The post on social media, posted by the name of Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the targeted killing. HT couldn't independently verify the veracity of the posts.
The police have initiated a process to bring Rajgarh, who was arrested in July this year, on a production warrant from Bathinda jail for questioning.

"But we can't ignore it. For now, the police have booked Anmol Bishnoi, Ravi Rajgarh, and others, including those who shared the post on their social media accounts," the SSP added.
SP, Detective Pawanjit Chaudhary said that the police have already booked four accused, Sandeep Singh, Teji Chak Sarai (named in the social media post), Karan Singh of Madpur (named in the social media post), and Simmi Balian, following the complaint by Dharampal, who is an eyewitness to the murder.

Raman, the sister of the victim, stated that her brother was the lone breadwinner for the family. "He was a kabaddi player. We will not perform his last rites till all the accused are arrested," she said.
Following Samrala DSP Tarlochan Singh assurance that main accused will be arrested soon, the victim's family lifted the blockade.
Rajveer Singh alias Ravi Rajgarh is wanted in over 15 serious criminal cases and is an 'A-category' gangster.
He was under investigation for his suspected role in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder. A police officer privy to probe said Rajgarh helped Anmol, escape to Dubai using a fake passport.
