The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested an associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi for allegedly harbouring those who had carried out a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack on the Intelligence headquarters of the Punjab Police in Mohali last year.
The accused, Vikas Singh, is a resident of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. He had harboured Deepak Surakhpur and Divyanshu from Faizabad, who executed the RPG attack in May 2022, said the agency. The agency arrested him on Tuesday.
During interrogation, the accused disclosed that the assailants had stayed several times in his house in the Devgarh village of Ayodhya and his flat in Lucknow. “Vikas Singh is accused in 10 criminal cases for the offences of murder, attempt to murder, Arms Act and Gangster Act,” said the NIA.
