Ludhiana: Sidhwan Bet police on Tuesday evening booked unidentified accused after an ex-serviceman was found murdered near Saleempura village. Kulwant Singh, 47, was found dead on his motorcycle.
Harbans Singh, his brother who works as a labourer, said in his police complaint, “I have three brothers and a sister who is married. My brothers — Kulwant, Hakam Singh, also an ex-serviceman, Major Singh, a labourer — and I live in separate houses in Saleempura.”
Kulwant worked as a security guard in Agra. “He had returned home in January and was jobless since then. Kulwant had got married to Manjeet Kaur about 22 years ago. The couple have a daughter, 18, and a son, 13. Around 6.50pm on Tuesday, we received a call from a villager that Kulwant was lying on a motorcycle near a sports stadium close to the village,” he added.
When they reached the spot, they found blood on the road.
“There was a wound on the back of his neck inflicted with a sharp-edged weapon. There were multiple injuries on his body too. He had Rs 100 in pocket at the time of the incident. My brother didn’t have any enmity with anyone. I had met him about a month ago. As there are no CCTVs at the spot, we are checking cameras installed in the villages for clues. We have told cops that we will not perform the cremation till we get justice,” he said.
Sidhwan Bet SHO inspector Rajesh Thakur said, “We have some clues and the accused will be arrested soon. The deceased had given his farmland on contract and had gone there.”
The body was later shifted to civil hospital.
A case has been registered under sections 302 (murder) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC.
