Singer Inder Kaur's Death and Investigation Details
Inder Kaur, a resident of Jamalpur in Ludhiana who was also known as Yashinder Kaur, disappeared on the evening of May 13 after leaving her home in a Ford Figo car to purchase household items. When she failed to return and her mobile phone was switched off, her family began a search and subsequently approached the police, alleging that she had been kidnapped from the Mundian Kalan area.
On Tuesday morning, local authorities recovered her body from the Neelon Canal near Kuba village. Investigators also located her vehicle approximately one kilometre from the site. According to Jamalpur police station officials, the car contained visible blood stains, leading investigators to suspect that she was killed inside the vehicle before her body was disposed of in the canal. The body has since been sent to Samrala Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination to establish the exact cause of death.
Following the initial probe, police arrested two individuals identified as Pritam Singh and Karamjit Singh. They are searching for the main suspect, Sukhwinder Singh Pritam's son, who allegedly orchestrated the crime. Police records indicate that Sukhwinder, who currently resides in Canada, had travelled to India via Nepal on April 29 and flew back on May 13, the same day the singer went missing.
