Man arrested in Vienna as probe proceeds
WSN Network

Vienna: A man who fired on a police party that had come raiding as part of the investigation into the attack on two dalit leaders here was arrested and some knives, pistols and guns were seized from his Vienna apartment. He has been identified as Amritpal Singh, 26.

Reports said on Monday, Amritpal fired gunshots at members of Austria's special police force investigating the May 24 shooting. He was overpowered and arrested. Six other suspects had been detained soon after the attack.

Police raided nine apartments on Monday but did not say how Amritpal is connected to the case and why he fired at the Austrian commandos.

Hardeep Singh, a 33-year-old asylum seeker facing deportation and a suspect in the shootout, was released from preventive detention on June 5, but remains in custody on charges of living in the country illegally.
