Victim's kin had moved court stating cops were showing laxity in arresting the accused
AMRITSAR: Punjab Police on Monday arrested the brother of Jashan Gill, a self-styled pastor in Gurdaspur town of Punjab, who was accused of raping a 22-year-old woman in 2023 and subsequently declared a proclaimed offender (PO) by the court.
Confirming the development, Gurdaspur senior superintendent of police (SSP) Aditya said the main accused's brother, Prem Masih, was arrested from Jammu for allegedly providing shelter to Gill. Cops, however, did not share any more details, citing that investigation is underway.
