Mastermind Behind Bilaspur Shooting Arrested: Former MLA’s Son in Custody

In a significant development, Bilaspur police arrested Puranjan Thakur, the son of former MLA Bambar Thakur, on Thursday morning. Puranjan, identified as the mastermind behind a recent shooting incident, was apprehended around 9:30 AM in the district court complex just as he was about to surrender. The arrest followed the withdrawal of his anticipatory bail plea in the Shimla High Court the previous day, with instructions from the court to surrender by 10 AM on Thursday.

On June 20, a broad daylight shooting took place outside the Bilaspur district court, targeting Saurabh Patial. Patial was the main accused in a previous attack on former MLA Bambar Thakur at the railway office in Jabli on February 23. On the day of the shooting, Patial was at the court for a hearing when the attack occurred.

The investigation led the police to Puranjan Thakur, who emerged as the primary conspirator behind the shooting. This revelation came to light during a press conference held by the Bilaspur SP. The main shooter, Sunny Gill, confessed during police interrogation that Puranjan Thakur had orchestrated the entire plot.

1. Arrest Details: Puranjan Thakur was arrested by Bilaspur police at 9:30 AM on Thursday while attempting to surrender at the district court.
2. Withdrawal of Bail Plea: His anticipatory bail application was withdrawn from the Shimla High Court a day prior, with the court directing him to surrender by 10 AM.
3. Incident Background: On June 20, Saurabh Patial was shot outside the Bilaspur district court. Patial was involved in an earlier attack on former MLA Bambar Thakur in Jabli.
4. Investigation Findings : The investigation revealed Puranjan Thakur as the mastermind, based on the confession of the shooter, Sunny Gill, who admitted to carrying out the attack under Puranjan’s instructions.

The arrest of Puranjan Thakur is a major breakthrough in the case, highlighting the intricate planning and involvement of high-profile individuals in local criminal activities. The police’s swift action in apprehending the accused before he could enter the court to surrender underscores their commitment to law enforcement and justice.
