Overview
- A male colleague identified as Harvinder (also reported as Harjinder/Harvinder Mann) entered a Mohali logistics office on Thursday evening, stabbed a co-worker, Dimple, repeatedly and then stabbed himself; both were rushed to Fortis Hospital and Dimple was later declared dead.
- Police at Phase‑11 Mohali have registered a murder case, sealed the scene, recovered two knives and taken the office CCTV footage and forensic samples for examination.
- Officials say the accused remains hospitalised and was assessed as unfit to give a statement; investigators will record his account once doctors clear him to be questioned.
- Preliminary probes indicate Dimple and the accused worked together for about three years and had been in a relationship that ended months earlier, with police examining whether rejected reconciliation attempts triggered the attack.
- The case, widely circulated because of CCTV, has prompted questions about workplace safety and bystander limits during violent incidents and investigators are reviewing witness statements, post‑mortem findings and forensics to reconstruct the sequence of events.
