  "account": "Punjab Police apprehended a key operative, Jobanpreet Singh, in connection with the murder of social media influencer Mad Sandhu. Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav announced the arrest by Counter Intelligence Jalandhar and Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad in Mumbai. The suspect, a resident of Jandoke village in Tarn Taran district, was found with three sophisticated pistols, five magazines, and 11 live cartridges. The attack on Sandhu occurred on October 3, 2026, when two motorcycle-borne attackers shot him dead on Loharka Road in Amritsar. Two of Sandhu's associates, Harsimranjit Singh and Fateh Singh, were also arrested in Surat, Gujarat. Preliminary investigations suggest Jobanpreet played a crucial role in providing weapons, funding, and logistical support to the shooters. Police are still investigating to uncover the larger network and its connections.",
