Commissioner Mandeep Singh Sidhu revealed that the deceased’s son, Bhupinder Singh from Racheen, Dahlon, had lodged a complaint regarding his father’s disappearance in February. He informed the police that his father, who co-owned a pig farm with Gurinder, had departed for work on January 23 but never returned. Since then, his father’s phone had remained turned off. 

The commissioner of police stated that Bhupinder Singh harbored suspicions that his father was being held captive. In response, the police promptly filed a First Information Report (FIR) under section 346 of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains to wrongful confinement in secrecy, and launched an investigation. Subsequently, on February 26, the case was transferred to the dedicated personnel of CIA staff-1 for further analysis. 

During the investigation, the police apprehended Gurinder Singh and one of his employees, Gurmeet Singh, in connection with the murder of Gurcharan Singh. The motive behind the crime was a monetary dispute. 

According to the authorities, on January 23, the accused brutally killed Gurcharan Singh by striking him with a blunt object. Subsequently, they stored the deceased’s body at a nearby farm for a day. Afterward, they disposed of the body by dumping it into the Bhakra Canal. Furthermore, they discarded Gurcharan Singh’s motorcycle by throwing it into a canal close to the Kaind Canal bridge. 

Additionally, according to the commissioner of police, the police have included sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing the disappearance of evidence of an offense), 120-B (criminal conspiracy), and 342 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the First Information Report (FIR). Efforts are currently being made to recover the body of the deceased.
