Now, the Ludhiana police will bring the suspect on a production warrant from Phillaur probably on Tuesday.

Notably, the victims, former ASI Kuldeep Singh, his wife Paramjit Kaur and son Pali Grewal, were found murdered on the premises of their house. Pali had dropped his wife at her parental house a few days before the incident.
