Moga Sarpanch Murder: Four Accused Remanded to Five Days' Police Custody

Police say a suspected personal dispute drove the plot, with CCTV tracing leading to arrests in Leh.

Overview

  • A Baghapurana sub-divisional court on Sunday placed the four suspects in five-day police remand for interrogation and recoveries.
  • The accused are identified as Manpreet Singh, Harvinder Singh Hinda, Jashanpreet Singh Jassa and Yogesh Sharma.
  • Ladakh police apprehended the group in Leh on March 12 after Punjab’s Crime Investigation Agency teams traced their movements, and a Ladakh court granted transit remand for their return to Moga.
  • Investigators cite CCTV and vehicle-tracking evidence, saying the assailants used a rented Fortuner for the attack, abandoned it, and fled in another SUV with a forged plate.
  • Police plan to recover the weapons and bring an SUV from Leh, while probing possible additional conspirators and questioning Rupinder Kaur.
