The self-styled chief of the Davinder Bambiha gang, Budda, was brought on production warrant from Sangrur jail in a December 2018 murder case. Two motorcycle-borne men had shot dead Rajinder Kumar, alias Goga, of Manuke village in Nihal Singh Wala subdivision. Later, Budda had confessed to the murder on Facebook, claiming that he had taken revenge for the murder of Beant Singh, former Akali sarpanch of Manuke village, who was killed, he alleged, by Goga on April 5, 2017. Buddha, who was deported from Armenia and arrested at New Delhi airport, is facing six cases, including for murder and extortion, in Moga.
