Gangster Encounter in Amritsar late last night ended with the death of Harjinder Singh, alias Harry. Police said he ran an active criminal network and stayed in touch with foreign-based gangsters and Pakistan-backed handlers. The Gangster Encounter in Amritsar took place when the anti-gangster staff moved in to stop a planned target killing in the city.
Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said Harry had recently walked out on bail and returned to violent activity soon after. His aide Sunny, a resident of Attari, ran into nearby fields and escaped during the chase. Teams have launched a search operation to track him.
Officials recovered two Pakistan-sourced pistols from the spot, including a 9-mm Glock and a .30-bore weapon. They also seized a bike and a mobile phone linked to the accused. Bhullar said the weapons suggest strong cross-border connections.
Investigators received a tip-off that Harry and Sunny planned to attack a rival in Amritsar. The police moved quickly to intercept them before they reached the target. Senior officers said the action sends a message that organised crime and smuggling networks will face strict enforcement.
Police teams continue surveillance in border-belt villages to prevent further criminal movement.
