Panchkula Assistant Commissioner of Police (HQ) Dalip Singh confirming the incident said that they have got a communiqué from the Jind police and now the accused would be brought here on production warrant.

The ACP said Mukesh Kumari and her husband Manoj were residents of Sector 26. On October 2, when Manoj was out of station, Mukesh informed him on the phone that their daughter Gulpreet (12) was not well. By the time he reached home, the girl was dead and Manoj was told that the girl died of illness. The family moved to Sunderpur village in Jind district, the native place of Manoj to cremate Gulpreet.
