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. Harish is believed to be a key player in Akhilesh's operations, and his insights can prove instrumental in uncovering hidden facets of organized crime in the region."
Harish Singh, who had been operating under a fake identity, attempted to evade arrest by presenting a forged Aadhaar card. However, the police, employing mobile surveillance and their investigative acumen, tracked him down, leading to his capture.
A resident of East Plant Bustee in Burmamines, Harish Singh is implicated in 30 criminal cases registered in and around Jamshedpur.
