Gujarat ATS nabs three more in Mad Sandhu murder
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Valsad Special Operations Group have arrested three men wanted for the October 3 murder of social media influencer Madhusudan Singh alias Mad Sandhu in Amritsar. The accused, identified as Harsimranjit Singh alias Simu Singga, Fateh Singh and Arman Singh, were detained in Vapi after Punjab Police’s Crime Investigation Agency shared inputs. They were taken to the Gujarat ATS office for questioning and later handed over to Punjab Police on October 10.
Earlier, the Ahmedabad Crime Branch arrested Parminder Prasad alias Parminder Kaka from Vadaj on October 8. Police allege he carried out the firing and arranged the motorcycle used in the attack. Investigators are also probing possible links to a gang network. Punjab Police now have custody of all four suspects and are continuing the investigation.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets give near-identical factual accounts of the arrests and the earlier capture of the alleged shooter, Parminder Prasad. The Hans India leads with the Gujarat ATS role and names more investigating officers in detail, while the Times of India adds the Goldy Dhillon social media claim and specifies that Sandhu was collecting his vehicle when attacked. Neither outlet criticises the police or the government, the framing is uniform straight reporting. Both end with the same concrete next step: the Punjab Police have taken custody and are pursuing the investigation. The sole difference is the Times of India’s additional mention of the gang-linked claim, which the Hans India omits, leaving that angle unexplored until the police confirm it.
