The anti-gangster campaign of Amritsar Rural Police has achieved great success. The police killed the bad guy Mani Soorma in an encounter near Attari in Amritsar. In the police retaliatory action, Mani Prince fired with a foreign pistol, but no one was injured due to the bulletproof jackets of the police officers.
DIG Sandeep Goyal said that more than 50 serious criminal cases were registered against Mani Soorma in several police stations including Tarn Taran. These include murder, attempt to murder, NDPS Act, Arms Act and dacoity. He had already been convicted in some cases.
The DIG said that on January 12, Mani Soorma was also encountered by the Lopoke police, in which he was injured and admitted to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar for treatment. During the treatment, he escaped from the police surveillance.
