Ambala, January 21

The body of Mohit Rana was handed over to his family members after the postmortem conducted by a board of doctors at the Civil Hospital, Ambala Cantonment, today.

Mohit Rana, a resident of Punjab, was killed, while Vishal of Ambala Cantonment was injured in a firing incident in Ambala on Thursday evening. Mohit had been associated with the Bhupi Rana gang, while Vishal is facing an extortion case.

In a Facebook post, Goldy Brar, who is associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, later claimed the responsibility of the incident.

Mohit’s brother Subhash had claimed that Mohit had suffered around 20 bullet injuries. Vishal, who is still undergoing treatment at the PGI, Chandigarh, had reportedly suffered nine bullet injuries.

Suresh, SHO of the Mahesh Nagar police station, said: “Mohit’s body has been handed over to his family members after postmortem. We are yet to receive the postmortem report.”

Superintendent of Police Jashandeep Singh Randhawa said: “The CCTV footage is being examined. The involvement of other sympathisers and supporters of their gang in this incident is being ascertained. Our teams are making efforts to nab the suspects.”
