Overview
- Relatives discovered the bodies in the Janta Nagar home after unanswered calls and a foul smell led them to check the house, prompting police to enter through a rear entrance and register a murder case.
- Police said both victims, Kuldeep Singh (70) and Harmeet Kaur (69), had multiple head and facial injuries consistent with blunt-force attacks and the bodies showed signs of decomposition that delayed discovery.
- CCTV footage identified two suspects, and relatives reported that callers posing as the victims answered the victims’ phones and used family nicknames before the bodies were found.
- Authorities arrested Pardeep Singh, a distant relative, who police allege attacked the couple during a dispute over money and took cash and jewellery while also attempting to access bank accounts online.
- Investigators continue to search for any accomplices and to recover the stolen items, and they are awaiting statements from the couple’s daughters who live abroad to complete the case file.
