Mohali, March 25

The Mohali police are still clueless about the whereabouts of the two suspects accompanying 18-year-old Mercedes driver Samrat Singh at the time of the car crash that occurred five days ago, killing three persons and injuring another three.

Even after grilling the main suspect, who was at the wheel, cops were also clueless where the suspects consumed liquor and what they did in the few hours before the mishap.

Meanwhile, the main suspect’s two-day police remand ended today. He was produced in a local court, which remanded him in judicial custody.

Mohali SSP Satinder Singh said raids were being conducted at the possible hideouts of the two suspects, one of whom was a minor. The two suspects were also students of a private school in Sector 26.

One of the two suspects is a resident of Sector 9, Chandigarh, and son of a stockbroker, while another suspect is a resident of Phase 7, Mohali, and his father owns a hotel in Phase 9.

The police have already added Section 324 (causing hurt by dangerous weapon or means) of the IPC to the FIR, which was registered under Sections 427 and 304 at the Mataur police station.
