Five persons, Gurpreet Singh Guri of Ghungrana, Taranpreet Singh Honey, Sukhwinder Singh Sukha, Laddi Chahal and their one unidentified accomplice, were booked under Sections 140 (3), 103, 191 and 190 of the BNS for allegedly kidnapping the victim, Onkar Singh Guri (32), of Ghungrana and murdering him at a deserted place on the night intervening Thursday and Friday.
Old rivalry over relationship between the victim and key suspect’s sister was cited to be the reason behind the murder.
SP, Payal, Harmanpreet Singh Cheema, said a police team, supervised by SHO, Malaudh, and in-charge, Sihar Chowki, Harjinder Singh, had solved the blind murder of a man, Onkar Singh Guri, whose body was found lying near a school at Jagera village on Friday. The key suspect, Gurpreet Singh Guri, has been arrested, he said.
“It was during investigation that we identified the deceased and collected information from his parents and residents of his native village,” said Cheema, maintaining that preliminary probe had revealed that the brother of a girl had allegedly abducted him from an eatery with the help of four other accomplices.
The suspects had allegedly thrashed the victim at some unknown place resulting in his death and dumped his body near the school. The deceased’s scooter was thrown at some distance to simulate a road accident.
Deceased’s father Lakhvir Singh told the police that he had received a call from his son Guri late on Thursday night, apprehending threat to his life.
“He was in a shock and told me that five persons had abducted him in a Maruti Swift car and were taking to some unknown place,” stated Lakhvir.
Working on information received from the family of the deceased, the investigating team registered an FIR against the suspects and started a manhunt for them. The key suspect had already been arrested.
