A separate case was filed against him, and he was taken into custody after the raid.On July 18, acting on a tip-off, the police raided the PG and found four youths – Dilpreet Singh, 23, (DK), Anil Legha, 30, Vishnu Kumar, 25, (Ninja), and Hiralal, 23, (Heera), armed with a Turkey-made Zigana pistol and 14 cartridges.
