Punjab Police have arrested four people from Indore in Madhya Pradesh for the murder of a lawyer in Punjab’s Mohali town, police said on Tuesday.
The lawyer, Amarpreet Singh, 32, died when he was fired at from close range after a row with some youths over parking of vehicles outside his house in Mohali on Feb 27.
