Mohali, Nov. 11 -- Wanted for firing at a hotelier residence in Sector 38, Chandigarh, on November 4, Mohali police have arrested three key associates of gangster Lucky Patial, who leads the Davinder Bambiha gang. One of the accused was nabbed after a brief exchange of fire near Bhukri road, Kharar, on Monday. Police said the accused, Ranveer Singh, opened fire when a CIA Mohali team intercepted him around 8.20 am while he was travelling on a Bajaj Platina motorcycle linked to the firing incident. He sustained a bullet injury in the leg when the police returned fire and was admitted to Phase 6 civil hospital. A .32-bore pistol was recovered and a fresh FIR was registered for firing at the police party. The accused's motorcycle was also seized. The encounter took place in a secluded, bushy area off Bhukhri Road, surrounded by thick undergrowth and shrubs. Earlier on Sunday, acting on a tip-off, Kharar police arrested two other members of the Patial gang, identified as Jashanjit Singh and Arshjot, from Mundi Kharar and Ballomajra. A .30-bore pistol and live cartridges were recovered from their possession.
