Patiala, Jan. 29 -- Police on Wednesday solved the murder of a head constable within 36 hours of the incident, arresting six accused, including two juveniles, and recovering the knife allegedly used in the crime.
Addressing a press conference, Patiala SSP Varun Sharma said all the accused were identified and arrested through coordinated operations. "The case has been worked out within 36 hours and the weapon of offence has also been recovered," he said.
The deceased, identified as Amandeep Singh, a resident of Nabha, was posted at the Civil Lines police station in Patiala. His brother, Navdeep Singh, also sustained injuries in the attack. The incident occurred on Sunday (January 25) evening when the two brothers had gone to a confectionery shop in Nabha. Amandeep Singh was in civilian clothes at the time.
