Police have arrested another man for sheltering gangster Gaurav Sharma alias Goru Bachcha. The accused, Navjot Singh of Nirmal Nagar in Dugri, runs a mobile repair shop in Phase-1, Dugri.
Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Sukhwinder Singh said, “Navjot is a close aide of Goru. He used to recharge Goru’s mobile for free and also provided shelter. The accused also arranged legal aid for the gangster, who is wanted in 20 cases, including killing of auto driver Vikrant Kumar, opening fire at Johny Lamba, robbery and rape.”
“Police had registered a case under Sections 212 (harbouring offender) and 216-A (harbouring robbers or dacoits) of the IPC against the accused after arresting him. He was later bailed out,” Singh said.
On June 24, the police had arrested Jeevan Sekha, district president of Student Organisation of India (SOI), student wing of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), for sheltering the gangster.
