IG (Bathinda range) N S Dhillon said police have got "specific clues" after interrogation of one of the accused and the prime accused, facing at least 17 criminal cases, would be apprehended soon.

"We have got sufficient information of the prime accused and four police teams have been sent to different places to arrest him," Dhillon said.

Those arrested today included Harpal Singh, Sammar Garg, Sahil, Babu, Amna, Amra, Amandeep and Rajan Batra.
