City police to bring 2 criminals on production warrant

Tribune News Service

Bathinda, August 12

The city police will bring two criminals — Aman Kumar, alias Amana Jaito, and Yadwinder Singh, alias Yadu — on production warrant.

The Organised Crime Control Union (OCCU) had arrested 11 members of the Bambhia group, which includes Amana Jatio and Yadwinder Singh Yadu from Sunam and various areas in Punjab, on July 31. The police had recovered nine pistols, five revolvers, one rifle and two guns from them.

It is pertinent to mention that on June 17, poultry-farm owner Hardev Singh, alias Gogi Jattana, was reportedly shot dead by members of the Bambiha group on the Phul-Gill Kalan village road in the Rampura area in broad daylight.

Claiming that Jattana was a police informer, Bambiha gang members took the responsibility of killing him on their Facebook page. In their FB post, they claimed that Sukhpreet Budda Kussa and Aman Jaito had killed Jattana.

They said they had taken revenge as Jattana was the one who had given information to the police about Davinder Bambiha when he was killed in a police encounter in 2016 near Phul village in Bathinda district.

Sources in the police claim that both had murdered Jattana on the directions of Sukhpreet Budda Kussa of Moga and Gurbaksh Singh of Faridkot. Gangster Veena Buttar, alias Varinder Singh, had provided weapon to Amana for this incident.

The police will take them on production warrant and interrogate them to nab their other accomplices.
