Bhiwani police officials confirmed that a case was registered against Mukhtiar Singh, brother of Haryana deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Randhir Singh, and three others for the firing at Jatu Lohari village, 15 km from here.

Eyewitnesses told the police that the firing incident took place when a wedding procession was moving near the village and a vehicle tried to overtake it.
