In a strategic move, the law enforcement authorities are looking forward to obtaining a remand for Harish Singh, a known shooter, to delve into his connections with the notorious don, Akhilesh Kumar. The decision to grill Harish Singh on his involvement and association with the criminal mastermind was made apparent during a press briefing by the senior police officials.

During the press conference, Senior SP Kishore Kaushal shed light on the impending interrogation of Harish Singh, stating, "The decision to take Harish Singh on remand is a crucial step in our ongoing efforts to dismantle the criminal infrastructure associated with Akhilesh Singh.
