Sohana Police have arrested Babanjit Singh, an employee of the Third Commando Battalion, and his accomplice Manpreet Sandhu on extortion charges. The duo allegedly threatened Raman Kumar, the owner of a bone treatment clinic in Sohana village, by falsely implicating him in a drug case and stealing cash from his clinic.
The police have filed a case against Babanjit Singh, also known as Bablu, a resident of Nanak Nagri, Moga, and Manpreet Sandhu, also known as Mannu Sandhu, from Anand Nagri, Abohar, Fazilka district.
According to DSP City-2 Harsimran Singh Bal, Raman Kumar, who operates the bone treatment clinic in Sector 77, Sohana, reported the incident. On March 8, Babanjit Singh, dressed in a Punjab Police uniform, entered the clinic and claimed to be a CIA officer. He allegedly planted narcotics inside the clinic, accusing Raman Kumar of drug trafficking. He then seized Rs30,000 in cash from the clinic’s counter and forced Raman into their vehicle, demanding a ransom of Rs2 lakh for his release.
The police acted swiftly on the complaint and arrested the suspects, who now face serious charges related to extortion and drug-related offenses.
