Gurgaon: A 14-year-old schoolboy, allegedly involved in a gangster conspiracy that smuggled money from Punjab to handlers based abroad, was asked to carry part of the advance money given to two hired shooters who opened fire outside the Gurgaon house of singer Fazilpuria’s former manager on May 2.Crime branch teams arrested Gursher Singh alias Shera (23) and Jaspal alias Babbal (28) from Tarn Taran, Punjab for the firing outside Saurabh Yadav’s house in Sector 45. Two days later, on 11 May, Gursher died while allegedly trying to escape from police custody.According to the police, fugitive gangster Satta Nowshera – who is a close associate of Lakhbir Singh Landa – had promised the two men Rs 20 lakh to kill Yadav. He reportedly received Rs 1.4 lakh in advance in two installments, including Rs 1 lakh delivered through a schoolboy near the Amritsar bus stand. The remaining amount was to be paid after the murder.Apart from the money, the shooters were also provided with three Glock pistols, which reportedly reached them about two months ago after being smuggled from Pakistan by drone through cross-border networks. Police said the shooters never met the courier who left the weapons for them at a designated location in Amritsar.Officials said the attack was planned for about a month. “They were in regular touch with the powers that be and had planned the attack for a month before carrying it out. Gursher had earlier carried out firing in Punjab on the instructions of the powers that be and was named in an attempt to murder case,” an officer said.Police said that these people had come to Gurgaon to target Yadav and opened fire outside his house to spread panic. Constable Kulbir, who was posted there following complaints of extortion, suffered injuries on his hands and legs. Babbal was allegedly riding the motorcycle during the attack while Gursher, who was sitting pillion, opened fire.The investigation is also probing the role of music producer-turned-gangster Deepak Nandal in masterminding the attack, which is believed to have stemmed from a monetary dispute. According to the police, after Nandal came in contact with Satta, he was assured of help in eliminating Yadav. “There is a possibility that Nandal may be providing financial support to the Satta Nowshera gang, which is mainly involved in cross-border arms smuggling into India through Punjab,” an officer said.Both Satta and Nandal have taken responsibility for the firing. Police are now trying to find out how the two came in contact.Landa was declared a terrorist by the Union Home Ministry in December 2023. Satta, who carries a reward of Rs 5 lakh, is accused of supplying arms across the border to gang members in Punjab and neighboring states with the help of associates in Pakistan.An FIR has been registered under charges of attempt to murder, criminal conspiracy, extortion, causing hurt to a public servant and provisions of the Arms Act.
