The sister-in-law of notorious gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, who is currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail in Assam, was arrested late on Monday night from Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport in Amritsar while she was trying to escape to Australia.
Bhagwanpuria’s sister-in-law Lovjit kaur had recently come to Batala to condole the death of her mother-in-law, Harjeet Kaur. She had been named in a murder case involving gangster Gurpreet Singh, alias Gora Bariar, by the Batala police a few days ago. She had been booked for murder and a lookout circular had been issued to prevent her from leaving the country. Bhagwanpuria’s mother Harjeet Kaur and his relative Karmveer Singh were shot dead a few days ago.
Lovjit was waiting to board a flight to Australia at the Amritsar airport when the airport authorities identified her on the basis of the lookout circular and informed the police. She was taken into custody and handed over to the Batala police.
The police are interrogating her to ascertain her role in the recent murders and her connection with other accused. The police will soon produce her in court to seek her police remand.
