Later, on August 03 the police had shown arrest of three more persons, namely Harbans Singh of Kalle Majra (Nabha), Gurvinder Singh and Jagjit Singh of Herike village in Sangrur district.

Gurpreet Singh and Nihal Singh were committed to judicial custody by a duty magistrate yesterday who had sent three others, namely Harbans Singh of Kalle Majra (Nabha), Gurvinder Singh and Jagjit Singh of Herike village in Sangrur district, on one day police remand.

Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur told Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) that the police were quick to present trio before the court who were committed to judicial custody. It is believed that the police did so to avoid the gathering of Sikh sangat at the Court complex.
