In a stunning turn of events, police sought to stop two motorcycle-borne suspects in the murder of the Nanakmatta Sahib Gurdwara dera kar seva leader, and a confrontation occurred in the Bhagwanpur region of Haridwar after midnight.

Amarjeet Singh, also known as Bittu, was injured in a gunfight that broke out during the chase, but Sarabjit Singh, the other accused, was able to escape. After being sent to Roorkee Civil Hospital, medical officials declared Amarjeet Singh dead.
Promptly arriving at the location were high ranking law enforcement authorities, such as Senior Superintendent of Police Pramendra Doval. Teams from the Special Task Force (STF) and the local police are currently searching for Sarabjit Singh on foot.
In the meantime, the murder inquiry has also linked former IAS officer Harbans Singh Chugh, head of the Nanakmatta Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee Baba Anup Singh, and vice-president of a regional Sikh outfit, Pritam Singh Sandhu, to the murder.

According to the DGP, the Uttarakhand STF and Haridwar Police have joined forces to apprehend the offender who is evading capture.
