VAPI — A week after the daylight assassination of social media influencer and actor Madhu Sudan Singh, popularly known as Mad Sandhu, in Punjab’s Amritsar, police forces have tracked down and arrested three wanted suspects from Vapi in Gujarat's Valsad district. The joint operation, carried out by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), the Punjab CIA, and the Valsad Special Operation Group (SOG), led to the capture of the three men who had been on the run since the October 3 shooting.
Following specific intelligence gathered under an internal security and anti-organized crime campaign, a team led by Valsad SOG PI D.D. Parmar intercepted the trio in the Vapi area. An ATS team subsequently arrived in Vapi, took custody of the accused, and left for Punjab. During intensive interrogation, the arrested suspects confessed to playing an active role in Mad Sandhu’s murder, including conducting a reconnaissance of the area prior to the attack.
Broad Daylight Shooting at Amritsar Car Wash
The violent attack took place on October 3, 2026, near a car washing centre on Lorahka Road in Amritsar, Punjab. Two unidentified assailants opened fire indiscriminately on Mad Sandhu before escaping the scene.
Details of the suspects apprehended in Vapi:
- Harsimranjit Singh alias Simu Singga: Son of Sarabjit Singh, resident of Sange village, Punjab.
- Fateh Singh: Son of Dilbag Singh, resident of Sange village, Punjab.
- Armaan Singh: Son of Satnam Singh, resident of Sange village, Punjab.
Slain Influencer Was Set to Enter Bigg Boss
Mad Sandhu was a popular social media influencer, young makeup artist, and model with over two lakh followers on Instagram. He had also acted in the Punjabi film Oye Bhole Oye. The fatal shooting occurred shortly before he was scheduled to make an entry into the reality show Bigg Boss.
Prior to the arrests in Vapi, a joint operation by the Ahmedabad and Punjab police led to the arrest of another suspect, Paramvinder Singh alias Kaka, from Ahmedabad. Investigation into his questioning revealed that Mad Sandhu had previously faced controversies and threats on social media regarding his content and attire. Authorities have also initiated an investigation into the involvement of foreign-based handlers, including Goldy Dhillon.
