Multani had come to the limelight earlier this year due to his links to the plot of killing a prominent farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal amid the farmer’s agitation against controversial agriculture laws. In January, a young man called Yogesh from Panipat was arrested in Haryana for hatching a plan to kill farmer leaders Rajewal, Baldev Singh Sirsa, Kuldeep Sandhu, and Jagjeet Singh. Yogesh had informed that through messages he was in constant contact with Multani when he had been given the task to target these farmer leaders.
