During the initial investigation, the Delhi Police had also identified eight sharpshooters, but now it also claims that there were six assailants.
Canada-based gangster Brar has made this claim in a post on social media after Jagroop Singh Rupa and Manpreet Mannu were killed in an encounter.
Earlier, the Delhi Police Special Cell investigating the case had released pictures of eight shooters, including Rupa, Mannu, Priyavarat Fauji, Manpreet Bholu, Subhash Banonda, Santosh Jadhav, Sourav Mahakal and Harkamal Ranu.
After the investigation, the names of Ankit Sersa, Deepak Mundi and Kashish, alias Kuldeep, were included in addition to Rupa, Mannu and Fauji. The rest of the shooters got a clean chit from the Punjab, Delhi and Maharashtra police in the case.
When contacted, Mansa SSP Gaurav Toora said the number of sharpshooters was six, of which two had been killed during an encounter. He said Brar wanted to divert the attention of the people and the police by issuing “absurd statements”.
