Punjab News, Pakistan Don Bhatti's Ally Baja Apprehended in Jalandhar, Latest News: A Pakistani don named Shahzad Bhatti's henchman, Davinder Singh Baja, was injured in a police encounter at around 10:30 PM on Saturday night in Daroli village of Adampur police station in Jalandhar.
Davinder Singh Baja was taken to a government hospital in Adampur after he was shot in his right leg in the encounter.
Baja, a shooter, is a resident of village Damunda (Adampur). He had reportedly fired at the house of NRI social media influencer Simran Sikand alias Sam in Model Town, Hoshiarpur, on the night of 9 August.
The Pakistani don named Shahzad Bhatti had taken responsibility for the firing. Bhatti was demanding ransom by threatening to throw a grenade at Sam's house.
Earlier, in a separate case, Baja had shot ASI Sukhwinder Singh's son, Harmanpreet Singh, in the leg in Adampur on 26 June. The police had arrested Baja's associate, Parminder Singh, but Baja himself was absconding.
Regarding the encounter with Baja, the Adampur police station in charge, Ravinder Pal, said that he had received inputs that Baja was coming to the Adampur area. The police, on Saturday night itself, under the supervision of DSP Inderjit Singh Saini and Kulwant Singh, and led by SHO Ravinder Kumar and the CIA staff team, had started looking for him by putting up a blockade in the area.
The blockade was set up near the village of Daroli at around 10:30 PM. During this, when the team tried to stop Baja, who was coming on a bike, he started firing. One bullet hit the SHO's official vehicle.
After this, the team surrounded him. Baja was about to fire the second shot when the police shot him in the leg, causing him to fall. He was then taken to the hospital.
The reason why Baja shot the ASI's son will become clear only after his recovery and further investigation into how he came in contact with the don.
