Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday expressed solidarity with the family members of police constable Amritpal Singh who was recently shot dead in line of duty.   Amritpal was killed on Sunday when a police team came under attack while conducting a raid in Mansoorpur village in a bid to arrest a gangster Sukhwinder Singh alias Rana Mansoorpuria, suspected of harbouring illegal weapons.   As the team was entering the house, the suspect opened fire and Amritsapl was struck in the chest. He later died at a hospital.   During his visit, Mann expressed solidarity with the bereaved family members and offered his deepest sympathies. He also paid floral tributes to Amritpal, highlighting that the constable was not just a son of Jandour village but also a son of Punjab.   In his address to the media, Mann reaffirmed the governments commitment to support the family of the slain constable. Mann also announced the construction of a stadium in remembrance of the constable.   The man, who killed Amritpal, was shot dead by the Punjab Police following an exchange of fire near the Adda Bhangala area on the Jalandhar-Pathankot national highway on Monday.
