Jagroop Singh, also known as Roopa, was an Indian criminal linked to the Sidhu Moosewala murder case. He was connected to the jailed Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. |
His father used to be a driver but transitioned to farming on his two-acre land in Jaura village at the behest of his younger son. |
During his school days, Jagroop fell in with a bad crowd and started using drugs. He dropped out of school and briefly worked at a motorcycle agency. |
Roopa's drug addiction led him to sell household items to fund his habit, causing distress to his family who tried unsuccessfully to dissuade him. |
He resorted to coercing his mother for drug money, resorting to violence when she refused. |
His drug addiction escalated his criminal activities to include robbery and dacoity. |
In 2017, disappointed by his criminal behavior, his parents expelled him from their home, leading him to leave the village with no intention of returning. |
He engaged in serious crimes such as ransom demands, fights, assaults, and attempted murders. |
Punjab Police regards Jagroop as a Category-B gangster with 17 criminal cases against him in cities like Tarn Taran, Amritsar, Jalandhar, and Ferozepur. |
