Fatehgarh Sahib, August 3
Two days after the Vice-Chancellor of Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, Fatehgarh Sahib, Jasbir Singh Ahluwalia, was shot at, the district police arrested a 47-year-old Sangrur resident and recovered the weapon used in the crime.

Police sources identified the arrested as Jora Singh of Khanauri village. The latter reportedly confessed to the crime during interrogation by the CIA staff. “He visited the university campus on July 28 for admission of a relative. He was upset over the attire of some girl students there. Also, he was not treated well by the VC who denied admission to his relative,” a source said.

A well-reputed person, he ran a trust that helped fish out bodies of accident victims from the Bhakra canal. The CM had appreciated his work a few years back.
