Punjab Police had initially held Ramratan and Jaspreet Singh of Patiala who had allegedly facilitated the escape of the “shooters” in a car; both were killed in a police encounter. The then DGP (Special) Law and Order Arpit Shukla had visited the site of the incident. Later, police had arrested a dozen suspects from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for providing logical support to the killers.
