Chandigarh, Nov 30 (IANS) Punjab Police have arrested gangster Karanjit Singh alias Jassa Happowal, an operative of a foreign-based gangster Rajesh Kumar, alias Sonu Khatri, and Jaspreet Singh alias Jassa Mohanwalia, said Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav here on Thursday.

“Gangster Jassa Happowal was wanted in at least six murder cases, including the double-murder of a mother and daughter, which took place in Bhojowal village in Jalandhar Rural last month, and other heinous crimes,” he said.
