Raju said he woke up to loud gunfire and immediately looked outside. He saw two masked men standing close to his house and firing repeatedly. Bullets damaged the glass railing and windows on the first floor. Soon after, he recovered CCTV footage that showed the attackers arriving on a motorcycle. They parked it near the village gate and walked toward the house. One of them threw four pages into the premises with the words “Kala Rana Group — 5 crore,” hinting at a clear extortion threat.

Raju stressed that he had no enmity with anyone. He believes criminal groups targeted him only to create fear. Empty cartridges were also found outside the house.

Police reacted quickly. Two SHOs reached the spot within minutes. Later, Phagwara SP Madhvi Sharma, DSP Bharat Bhushan, MP Dr. Raj Kumar Chabbewal and Halka Incharge Harnoor Singh Maan met the family and reviewed the damage.

Police registered a case under the BNS and Arms Act. According to SSP Gaurav Toora, investigators are now checking all CCTV footage and exploring extortion and gang rivalry angles. Meanwhile, police patrols have increased across the area to maintain security.

Tension rose on Wednesday as Phagwara observed a complete bandh. Markets, shops and commercial areas remained shut after the armed attack on Tuesday evening. According to police, six assailants—including Tanish alias Binda and Sunil of Balmiki Mohalla—allegedly intercepted the father–son duo near Gaushala Bazar and launched a violent assault, followed by gunfire meant to terrorise the public.

SSP Gaurav Toora, SP Madhvi Sharma and DSP Bharat Bhushan reached the hospital and the crime scene. They assured supporters that police teams were pursuing every lead and promised swift arrests. Extra forces were deployed across the city to maintain calm.

Hindu organisations gathered at the hospital and expressed serious concern over what they called a worsening law-and-order situation. Local leaders, including MLA Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal and Mayor Ram Paul Uppal, urged decisive government action.

The Bar Association led by Advocate Ravinder Sharma also observed a “no-work day” in support of the bandh. Residents demanded safety and justice as investigations continued.

SSP Gaurav Toora said the case was registered under FIR No. 14 dated September 19, 2025, at PS Cyber Crime Kapurthala. The accused face charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act. Investigations are focusing on the group’s wider financial channels and foreign links.

Police identified Amrinder Singh, alias Sabhi Tohri of Phagwara, as the mastermind. He had leased the building for the illegal operation. The call centre was managed by Jaspreet Singh of New Ranjit Nagar and Sajan Madan of New Delhi. Both were linked to Suraj in Delhi, who maintained ties with a Kolkata-based suspect named Shen.

The gang targeted victims in the United States and Canada by posing as software providers. Payments were collected through Bitcoin and hawala channels. Authorities are now tracing the international network to uncover the full scope of the fraud.
