Punjab Police Arrest Two in Killing of RSS Volunteer in Ferozepur

Officers say the attack was planned days earlier, with a claim of responsibility still under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Ferozepur SSP Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said two of five suspects, identified as Kanav and Harsh, have been arrested in the November 15 shooting of Naveen Arora.
  • Police outlined a planned plot allegedly led by Jatin Kali, who offered ₹1 lakh to recruits during a November 13 birthday gathering in Basti Bhatian Wali.
  • Investigators said the attackers formed two teams, sourced a firearm from Uttar Pradesh, and that Badal and an accomplice fired the fatal shots before Jatin facilitated their escape.
  • The weapon used has not been recovered, three suspects remain at large, and detectives have not established a motive.
  • A pro-Khalistan outfit calling itself Sher-E-Punjab Brigade claimed responsibility, which police are evaluating, as RSS and BJP leaders press the state with a two-day ultimatum and Shiv Sena figures report threat calls.
