On April 2, three men were arrested for robbing ₹3.5 lakh (approximately $4,200 USD) from the cashier of Punsup Gas Service in Kharar, Punjab, India. The suspects, Kulwinder Singh (35), Harpreet Singh (47), and Manpreet Singh (37), assaulted cashier Vipin Kumar and fired a countrymade pistol to intimidate him during the robbery.
