Overview
- Police say the bike-borne duo fired at a medical store owner on September 22 and outside a private hospital in Kalanaur on October 15 after extortion calls.
- DGP Gaurav Yadav said preliminary findings indicate the pair were handled by foreign-based radicals Gurdev Jassal and Gurlal alias Gullu tied to BKI.
- Officers said the suspects were tasked with targeted killings of rival gang members as part of a broader plan to spread unrest in Punjab.
