Prime suspects identified in Bishnoi aide's murder
Chandigarh, Dec. 5 -- Three days after 35-year-old Inderpreet Singh also known as "Parry" was shot dead in broad daylight near the Timber Market in Sector 26, Chandigarh Police are yet to make any arrests, even though they say the assailants have been identified.
One of the men named by investigators is Piyush Piplani, a suspect who has been on the run since he emerged as a prime accused in the June killing of kabaddi player Sonu Nolta outside a mall in Pinjore earlier this year.

On the evening of the killing around 6 pm on Monday, Parry left a private club (in a car) near Kala Ghoda in Sector 26. CCTV footage showed a man seated in the front passenger seat opening fire at him inside the car. Shortly after, a white SUV trailing behind pulled up and one or more assailants fired additional rounds. Police recovered several empty shell casings and a live cartridge from the spot. Parry lived in Sector 33 and carried a long criminal record, including cases of assault, extortion, across Chandigarh and Punjab. Fourteen years ago, he was jailed along with gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi in a high-profile assault case. The case related to a 2011 incident in which several men entered a house in Sector 40 and attacked occupants....
