The police have arrested two persons for the murder of Canada-based NRI Balkaran Singh Bhullar (57).He was shot dead on October 19 outside his farmhouse near Balluana village, about 12 km from Abohar.

Rajinder
Singh, DIG, told the media here today that Kulbir Singh and Darshan
Singh Lahoria were arrested near a canal bridge at Gobindgarh village.
The police recovered an unlicensed pistol and three cartridges from the
duo.

Balkaran’s brother Baljit Singh Bhullar, who resides in
Sunder Nagari here, had blamed Samarbir Singh Sammy, brother Kulbir
Singh, Sammy’s father-in-law Gurnek Singh Rimpy, latter’s son-in-law
Gurshetar Singh and others for the murder. They had been booked under
Sections 302, 382, 148, 149 and 120-B of the IPC and Sections 25, 27, 54
and 59 of the Arms Act.
The police said Kulbir had revealed
during interrogation that a dispute over his family’s 16-acre
agricultural land had led to the killing after they lost a legal battle
with Balkaran in a local court on September 25. Kulbir sought the help
of his friend Darshan and others for plotting the murder, the cops
added.
