Ranbir along with his associates Harvinder Singh alias Dodhi, a resident of village Muradpura in Amritsar and Bhupinder alias Bhinda, a resident of village Chande in Amritsar, entered the residence of Manjit Kaur and her husband Rajpreet Singh. After removing the CCTV cameras, they shot the couple dead in broad daylight. They were carrying 3 Pistols and had used a Pulsar 220 bike which was arranged by Dodhi.

A case dated 21-09-2018 under Sections 302,34 IPC 25,27 Arms Act in Zira police station in Firozepur was registered.
