It said that Hardeep procured a .315 bore country-made weapon from Pahar at his house. This weapon was recovered and seized at the instance of Hardeep subsequent to his arrest by the Punjab Police in November.
A case under the Arms Act had earlier been registered against Pahar in Amroha in September.
He will be produced before the special NIA Court in Mohali tomorrow.
Gosain was shot dead outside his residence in Ludhiana’s Gagandeep Colony on October 17 by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants.
The Punjab police, which was earlier probing the case, had arrested Ramandeep Singh and Hardeep Shera, a few days after the incident. (agency).
