Gangsters Injured in Punjab Police Encounter; Verma Murder Suspects Nabbed?
Two notorious gangsters, Sahil Josan and Sukhpal Singh Palu, sustained injuries in a dramatic police encounter near Arniwala on August 2, 2025. The encounter follows the July 7 murder of businessman Sanjay Verma, a case in which both men are prime suspects.
Both Josan and Palu have extensive criminal histories, adding weight to the police investigation. Their alleged involvement in the high-profile Verma murder has sent shockwaves through the state.
The duo are also believed to be linked to the murder of Sahilpreet, a crime that involved a car ramming and subsequent shooting. This further underscores the gravity of their criminal activities.
The police operation near Arniwala is being hailed as a significant step in curbing the rising menace of gangsterism in Punjab. The successful apprehension, or at least injuring, of these notorious figures offers a glimmer of hope for improved law and order in the region. The ongoing investigation will likely shed more light on their extensive criminal network and their involvement in other unsolved cases. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in tackling organised crime.
