After the incident, the police have arrested some persons belonging to the Sikh community, Nahng. Complete lockdown is implemented in all states of India till the 15th of April to prevent the outbreak of the Corona virus.

Doctors say the operation to attach a severed hand to the body was extremely difficult and complicated, which was successfully completed and police officer Harjit Singh is recovering.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has congratulated the team of doctors who conducted the operation of police officer Harjit Singh.

According to local media, the attackers fled the scene and hid in a gurudwara in a nearby village.

When the police reached the gurdwara to arrest the accused, they opened fire on the police. The police called for more personnel, after which they left the gurdwara and handed themselves over to the police.

According to Indian law against the accused, a case has been registered under three different provisions including action murder and assault on a government official.
