Tribune News Service Ludhiana May 6 The Ludhiana police claimed to have solved a blind murder case and arrested three persons. They had killed a youth while attempting to loot a mobile phone from him. The accused have been identified as Harvinder Singh Lalli of Gurmel Nagar Gurmeet Singh Gagan of Jamalpur and Tej Ram Chintu of Mundian Khurd. ADCP Jaskiranjit Singh Teja addressed a press meet in this regard today. The ADCP said on April 28 Amandeep Singh (20) of Lohara along with his friend Sunil had gone to a park at Giaspura here where three armed persons cornered the duo and asked them to handover a mobile phone to them. When Amandeep refused to handover the cell phone they attacked him with a sharp weapon and inflicted serious injuries on his stomach. After the incident he was rushed to Cancer Hospital from where he was referred to another private hospital. Since the condition of the youth was critical he was referred to some hospital in Patiala where he later succumbed to his injuries. Earlier the police had registered a murder case against unknown persons. Teja said the police launched a probe and managed to identify the accused. Later they were rounded up after which they confessed to the crime. The ADCP said the police also seized a sharp weapon and four mobile phones from the accused. The bike on which the accused came was stolen by them from Ghora Colony last month. They had also put up a fake registration number plate on the two-wheeler. The three accused had a notorious past as they were already facing several crime cases including snatching incidents registered at various police stations of Ludhiana. The police remand of the accused would be sought from the court so that in further interrogation more members of the gang could be nabbed and involvement of the accused in past loot incidents could also be checked.
