Jamshedpur, March 28: The police on Tuesday registered a case against eight persons in connection with the firing incident that took place near the Jamshedpur civil court gate under the Sitaramdera thana area on Monday.
In the case, which was registered based on an FIR lodged by Navin Singh, three persons namely Harpreet Singh, Kundi and Aman have been made named accused. The case was registered with the Sitaramdera thana on the statement made by Navin Singh and also based on the CCTV camera footage derived from the crime scene.
According to the FIR, Navin Singh who is a resident of Agrico had gone to the civil court in connection with a case. As he was returning back through gate No 3 of the court along with his friend Anil Mukhi, he found Aman, Harpreet, Kundi along with five others sitting on their bikes, apparently waiting for someone.
As soon as Harpreet saw Navin, the former shouted at the rest of his associates declaring ‘Navin Singh is coming. Shoot him.’ Subsequently, Kundi and Aman fired shots aiming at him. But he somehow managed to enter the court premises once again for saving his life. The next moment, some policemen posted at the court gate duty had come to his rescue, but by then the attackers had managed to flee the spot.
According to police, it was the same gang that had opened fire at the Tinplate Chowk in Golmuri immediately after on Monday afternoon. After getting the shooters identified, the police have started conducting raids at their houses and elsewhere, but till this afternoon no arrest could be made.
