The influencer, a resident of Ludhiana, was believed to be in her mid-30s and had over 3.83 lakh followers on Instagram.

In October last year, she had reportedly received a threat from Canada-based designated terrorist Arsh Dalla, who had warned her to stop posting “inappropriate” videos.

According to preliminary police investigation, the case appears to be a murder.

The body was discovered after locals complained of a foul smell emanating from a parked car. Upon arriving at the scene and inspecting the vehicle, police recovered the woman's body from inside.

Speaking to the media, Bathinda SP (City) Narinder Singh said, “Prima facie, it appears someone abandoned the car here after committing the crime. The post-mortem report will provide clarity. The car appears to bear fake registration number plates, and we are seeking details from the transport authorities.”

Police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding area as part of the investigation.
