The official also said that more suspects in the case had been identified on the basis of CCTV footage and further investigations were on to establish their role in the incident.

Dalit labourer Lakhbir Singh was brutally killed earlier this month and his body strung to a barricade at the Singhu border with a hand chopped off and multiple wounds caused by sharp-edged weapons.

The accused Nihangs had maintained that Lakhbir, who hailed from a village in Punjab's Tarn Taran, had been "punished" over alleged desecration of a holy book.

Initially, Sarabjit was arrested for the murder. Later, Narain, a key member of the Sikhs' Nihang order, was held in Amritsar.

Govindpreet and Bhagwant from Fatehgarh Sahib had "surrendered" before the Sonipat police.

The Haryana Police had formed two special investigation teams (SITs) to probe the incident.

One SIT was tasked with carrying out the overall probe into the case and the second one was constituted to investigate the videos of the incident that were circulating on social media.
