DIG AGTF Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that following intelligence inputs, an AGTF team from Amritsar had gone to arrest an active member of Jaipal Group identified as Harman Khakh. He said that the Police teams have managed to arrest Amritpal and Tejinder from the spot, however, Harman managed to abscond. He said that an FIR dated 26-04-2022 under section 25 of the Arms Act has been registered against the duo at SSOC Amritsar. DIG Bhullar said that the AGTF teams will soon nab Harman, who is already absconding in a case registered under NDPS and Arms Act at City Kharar Police Station. Harman is also a close associate of absconding gangster Gurjant alias Janta, who is presently based in Australia, he added. Notably, Jaipal Bhullar and Jaspreet Jassi were neutralised by the STF West Bengal Police, after they fired on the West Bengal Police party when they raided their flat in Kolkata in June last year.
