Amritsar, November 12

The dismissed Sub-Inspector, Sandeep Kaur, arrested in a double suicide case, has been charged with destroying evidence after she failed to recover her mobile phone which was prime evidence against her.

She was on Thursday produced in a court after the expiry of her extended police remand. The court sent her to judicial custody. Police officials pointed out that this could go against her.

The Mohkampura police have added Section 201 (3), IPC, in the FIR registered against her for abetting suicide. Confirming the development, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Harpal Singh said further investigation was under progress.

Perturbed over the harassment and blackmailing, Vikramjit Singh, a jeweller, had committed suicide in a room of a hotel based on Batala Road here on October 10. He had left suicide notes, video and audio messages before ending his life. The same day when his body was found in the hotel room, his wife also ended her life at her residence in Nawapind village on Mehta Road here.

One FIR each under Section 306 of the IPC was registered at the Mohkampura and Jandiala Guru police stations in this connection.

In the suicide note, Virkamjit had named two cops Navneet Sandhu and Deep Sandhu, who had extorted money from him along with SI Sandeep Kaur. They had extorted around Rs 18 lakh from him.

Harpal Singh said during the probe it was found that Navneet Sandhu and Deep Sandhu were the same person. Navneet Sandhu posed as a DSP for extorting money. He said the police had got warrants against him. Raids were on to nab him.
