CHANDIGARH:

While convicting three sharpshooters—Anil Kumar, alias Latth; Ajay Kumar, alias Lefty; and Sajjan Singh, alias Bhola—all members of the Kaushal-Bambiha gang, the court in January had acquitted gangsters Bhupinder Singh, alias Bhuppi Rana, Amit Dagar and Kaushal Chaudhary, who were accused of conspiring the murder, due to lack of direct evidence.

Subsequently, the three convicts were sentenced to life imprisonment. On August 7, 2021, Middukhera, a Youth Akali Dal leader, was about to sit in his SUV after visiting the office of a property dealer in Sector 71 around 10.30 am, when Anil and Ajay chased him and fired multiple shots at him.
