The Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal Police has launched a search operation for the person who took a flat on rent in Kolkata's New Town area and allowed two gangsters from Punjab - who were killed in an encounter Wednesday - to stay there. It has been found that the two men, who were carrying bounties on their heads, came to Kolkata last month from Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior in a high-end SUV with Bengal a registration number, an officer of the state STF said Thursday. The police have identified the owner of the flat, where the two men were shot dead by the STF. He is a resident of central Kolkata's Entally area, the officer said. Preliminary investigations revealed that the person got the phone number of the flat owner from a website, used "fake documents" to get it on rent and allowed Jaipal Singh Bhullar and Jaspreet Singh to stay there, he said.
