Hoshiarpur, July 29
Three people, including an army jawan, were arrested for allegedly killing a man here, police said on Monday.
The accused were identified as Kanish Kumar from Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar; Jaswinder Singh alias Monu, and army jawan Amandeep Singh alias Aman, both from Daffar village here; they said.
SSP Surendra Lamba said the incident occurred on Friday, when three masked men riding a motorbike intercepted Kulvir Singh and Satwinder Singh while they were on their way to Bajwa village.
The three attacked Kulvir and Satwinder, leaving both seriously injured. They were rushed to a hospital where Kulvir succumbed to his injuries, Lamba said.
Police investigation revealed that Satwinder had an old enmity with Dubai-based Pinder at Kabirpur village.
Kanish had met Pinder when he visited Dubai a while ago and hatched a plot to kill Satwinder, police said.
Police recovered a motorbike and two sharp-edged weapons used in the crime from the accused, they said.
