Reports suggest that the suspect also named a few names involved in the Sidhu murder, he named Santosh and Nagnath Suryavanshi as those involved.
"With some accused, there is an element of bragging in their confessions. The motive behind bragging is to gain publicity and get bigger extortion amounts. This phenomenon is common in Punjab and other neighbouring states. They (gangsters) want their names to get associated with high-profile cases. Mahakal is a small fish. Bikram Brar told him about Karan Johar. Why Brar tell this to Mahakal, who is just a foot soldier? Because Brar wants to increase his clout and impress youths like Mahakal.", a police officer reports
