Three Held After Yamunanagar Hospital and Mall Shootings, Including Two Minors

Police say early findings point to extortion with an intent to create fear.

Overview

  • CCTV captured three masked youths firing about 13–14 rounds at an empty hospital reception before discharging three to four shots outside a mall, with no injuries reported.
  • Police set up checkpoints and intercepted the suspects on Sunday morning near Kasanpur after the overnight shootings.
  • The trio allegedly fired at officers; two were hit in retaliatory fire and a third was injured after a motorcycle fall before all received treatment and were detained.
  • Investigators identified the adult suspect as Gurlal Singh of Kurukshetra, with two co-accused juveniles from Karnal, and recovered one foreign-made handgun and one country-made pistol.
  • Opposition leaders from Congress and AAP criticized the state government’s law-and-order record as questioning of the suspects and the formal probe continue.
