A YouTuber attack suspect shot at police and was himself injured in the process. Hardik Kamboj, 21, was arrested for throwing an explosive at the home of YouTuber Rozer Sandhu. This incident occurred in Jalandhar and prompted police to take Kamboj for a weapon recovery operation after he was captured in Haryana. On Tuesday, while being brought to Jalandhar, Kamboj opened fire on the police. In response, officers shot him in the leg. He was quickly given medical care and taken to a local hospital, according to police reports. Kamboj had thrown a "grenade-like object" at Sandhu's house, but it did not explode. A Pakistani gangster named Shahzad Bhatti claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that Sandhu was insulting Islam. Police stated that Kamboj was arrested in Bihta village in Yamunanagar. He admitted to his actions during questioning. During the recovery operation in Jalandhar, Kamboj grabbed a weapon and shot at the police team. Authorities confiscated a .32-bore pistol and six live rounds. They are now investigating whether another person was involved in the incident. Kamboj reportedly received ₹25,000 for his role in the attack.
