Ponty shootout case: Namdhari admits to open fire at Hardeep Chadha

New Delhi: Sukhdev Singh Namdhari, the sacked Uttarakhand Minority Commission chairman, was today accused by the police of being the main conspirator in the last Saturday shootout that killed liquor baron Ponty Chadha and his brother Hardeep, who was allegedly shot by him.

Police told a magisterial court that Namdhari has confessed to having shot Hardeep Chadha in the Chattarpur farm house in South Delhi last Saturday with his pistol when Hardeep pointed his gun at him.

When the defence counsel contested the police theory after arguments from both the sides, Metropolitan Magistrate Sandeep Garg sent Namdhari to five days' police custody saying "the investigating agencies should be given an opportunity for their endeavour to recover the weapon used in the crime."
