Overview
- Sandeep Tomar, arrested in Madhya Pradesh, was sent to judicial custody in Abohar on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
- A Fazilka Police SIT, working with NATGRID, traced his PAN-linked salary account and a Bharat Gas refill payment to pinpoint a delivery address in Pandhurna.
- Investigators matched the bank account’s linked phone activity to Pandhurna, then used the LPG transaction ID to pull the customer and dealership details that yielded the exact house.
- The renewed push followed a 2024 petition by Tomar’s father-in-law and a High Court order requiring the Punjab DGP to file an affidavit by April 8, 2026 on efforts to detain him.
- Tomar, convicted in 2014 for killing his wife at Abohar cantonment, lived under false identities across Zirakpur, Odisha, and Bengaluru, worked corporate jobs, and reportedly remarried after failing to surrender when his life term was upheld in 2022.
