Citing the case file, Jasbir Dhanda said that on 23 April 2023, at around 12:30 pm, Advocate Gyan Chand Gupta was returning home from his office. When he reached near the divider towards Udham Singh Chowk Cheeka by bus, two unknown youths came from behind on a motorcycle and started saying that Gurvinder Sir had called you, why did you not stop. On this, the lawyer asked who is Gurvinder Sir, then he said that some woman's jewelry has been lost and he is looking for it. The lawyer said that I do not know anything.
