The court has fixed the next hearing for July 6. It is learnt that before being produced in the court, the gangster was questioned all night in the murder case. Various security agencies, including Black commandos and armoured vehicles, were deployed in Amritsar even before Bishnoi arrived. Besides three-tier security, CCTV cameras were also installed for additional surveillance. Kandowalia was shot dead at a private hospital in August 2021. Earlier, notorious gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria had allegedly taken the responsibility of killing Kandowalia on social media.
