Key Suspect in Kabaddi Promoter’s Killing Arrested in Tripura After ‘Shadow Hunt’

The arrest concludes Shadow Hunt, the interstate pursuit launched after new intelligence.

Overview

  • Punjab’s Anti-Gangster Task Force, working with central agencies and Tripura Police, detained Aditya alias Makhan in Agartala on Monday in the December 2025 shooting of promoter Kanwar Digvijay Singh.
  • Police said six accused, including three alleged shooters, are now in custody and that this capture completes the roundup of suspects.
  • Investigators allege overseas gang handlers directed the plot, naming figures including UK-based Doni Bal as part of a bid to control kabaddi events.
  • Officers said Makhan has at least 14 prior cases for violent and narcotics offences and had spent two to three months in Agartala driving taxis to avoid notice.
  • He was produced in a local court in Tripura, and police secured a transit remand to bring him to Mohali for further legal proceedings.
