The SSP said that on April 25, under the supervision of Inspector Harminder Singh, incharge of CIA Staff, a CIA team was conducting surveillance near CP-67 Mall, Mohali, targeting suspicious individuals. Acting on specific intelligence, the team learned that Satnam Singh, alias Nikku, resident of Phase-1 Mohali; Suraj Kumar, alias Pehalwan, resident of Sohana; and Sukhwinder Singh alias Sukh, resident of Gura village, Jalandhar district, were carrying illegal firearms.

According to SSP Pareek, the CIA team apprehended the trio near Mauli Baidwan. A search of their vehicle led to the recovery of a .32 bore pistol, an extra magazine, five live cartridges, and 201 grams of heroin. Following this, additional charges under sections 21/29-61-85 of the NDPS Act were invoked, and the accused were taken into custody.
During interrogation, Satnam Singh, alias Nikku, confessed that he sourced heroin from Suhail, son of Mohammad Shabbir, resident of Sai Enclave, Jhampur village, Mohali.
