The incident happened very early in the morning. DGP Abhinav Kumar stated that although Amarjit Singh, also known as Bittu, a shooter with a one lakh rupee bounty on his head, was eventually murdered, his accomplice managed to get away.

He said that in an effort to capture the wanted individual, the Haridwar Police and the Uttarakhand Special Task Force had begun working together. Among those who had over sixteen crimes committed against them on March 28 was Amarjit Singh, who was involved in the murder of the 'karseva' chairman of Nanakmatta Gurudwara. Two individuals riding motorbikes shot and killed Baba Tarsem Singh at the Nanakmatta Gurdwara in Udham Singh Nagar. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Udham Singh Nagar raised the reward money for the two primary suspects who had fled the scene, Amarjit Singh and Sarabjit Singh, earlier on Sunday. The previous amount was Rs 50,000.
