Amritsar (Gurpreet Singh): Notorious gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria was brought back to Punjab from an Assam prison on Thursday, ahead of his hearing in a double murder case. He is set to appear in a Batala court later today.
Sources said Bhagwanpuria has requested the Punjab and Haryana High Court to have video recording of all his movements during custody, citing concerns for his personal safety amid fears of a police encounter.
The transfer was carried out under tight security, reflecting the high-profile nature of the criminal and the serious charges he faces. Police officials noted that this move is part of ongoing efforts to ensure swift legal action against individuals involved in violent crimes.
Batala court authorities are expected to oversee procedures for his custody and trial, with strict security measures in place to prevent any untoward incidents.
The return of Bhagwanpuria to Punjab underscores the state police’s focus on handling organized crime figures carefully while moving forward with the judicial process.
