As per Amandeep, his father was working as a vehicle dealer for last 5 years. “On Tuesday night, I was sleeping at the first floor of my house, while my mother Rajwinder Kaur and father Harjit Singh were sleeping at the ground floor. At around 1:30am, I heard some noises and immediately rushed down. I saw around five to six men, who were in khaki uniforms, some of them were wielding riffles and some had pistols. They were trying to abduct my father, while my mother was intervening. They pushed my mother aside and took away my father in their car.”

“Before leaving the spot, the accused threatened me not to shout,” he said.

He further said, “I immediately called my father’s friend Sultan Singh. As he reached our place, we went to look for my father. Few hours later, we found his dead body in a poll of blood on the outskirts of the village. His legs were tied with a cloth and there were injury marks on his head.”

On getting the information about the incident, senior superintendent of police (SSP) Darshan Singh Mann along with other senior police officials reached the spot and started investigation. He said, “We are investigating the case and the accused will be arrested soon.”
