Sukhbir Singh assassination bid: Cops summon Chaura’s sons, investigate how he laid hands on ‘sophisticated weapons’ | India News

Amritsar Police on Saturday deepened its investigation into the assassination bid on former deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal and started inspecting the role of attacker Narain Singh Chaura’s sons — Jagjit Singh and Baljinder Singh. They both were summoned for questionning in the case on Saturday. Police is not only investigating how Chaura laid his hands on sophisticated weapons, but are also going through earlier cases against him for more clues. Police sources said that investigation revealed that the pistol from which Chaura opened fire on December 4 was the same one he used in another case registered against him in 2010. Police said that Chaura hid the pistol somewhere in the field. “Chaura was arrested in 2013 related to the old case and all weapons were seized from him. It is surprising how he managed to hide this one.” Talking to The Indian Express, Chaura’s son Jagjit Singh said that the summon was a sheer harassment. “We were at the police station till 7pm and they asked us all about our family history.

Behold Ayaneo’s sophisticated takes on the Game Boy and Game Boy Micro

The Analogue Pocket is the most advanced Game Boy to ever take actual carts, but Ayaneo has just unveiled a pair of emulator-centric pocket computers that could give it a run for its cash — including a modern take on the original DMG-01 Nintendo Game Boy that now includes a 419ppi OLED screen. Unfortunately, we’ve only got renders and a few details today — no prices or full spec sheets — but those renders look pretty neat! I find myself most interested in the Pocket Micro, whose sleek design, twin joysticks and horizontal layout look a bit more practical than the stick placement on the Pocket DMG. Not to mention a bit of a Sony Walkman vibe from certain angles? Take a peek: Below, you’ll also see the Ayaneo AG01 “Graphics Starship” eGPU dock the company already teased, as well as a Super Famicom themed retro power bank with a screen, and a new version of Ayaneo’s Mac-inspired mini-PC — now with a tilting screen and your choice of a AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS or …
