The Punjab Police on Saturday said it has recovered an assault rifle AK-56 along with 100 rounds on the disclosure of Charat Singh, the main accused in the rocket-propelled grenade attack at its intelligence headquarters in Mohali. Besides, Charat Singh's two aides Syed Mohammad Touseef Chisty, alias Chinky, and Sunil Kumar, alias Kala, have also been arrested. The attack was carried out at the intelligence headquarters of the Punjab Police in Mohali on May 9. Charat Singh was recently arrested from Mumbai.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said on disclosures of Charat Singh, police teams recovered the AK-56 along with 100 rounds of ammunition and a .30 bore pistol. Following Charat Singh's interrogation, police arrested Chisty from Ajmer in Rajasthan, he said. The DGP said investigations revealed that accused Chinky had been in touch with Canada-based gangster Lakhbir Landa for the past five to seven years. On Landa's directions, Chinky had arranged a stay for Charat Singh at a guest house named Al-Khadim in Ajmer.
