He has been identified as Prem Chand, alias Mithun (25), a resident of Gurdaspur district. The youth is stated to be a drug addict.

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.

After the triple murder, the Ludhiana police were working on different theories to trace the culprit(s). The Phillaur police claimed to have arrested the youth allegedly involved in the murder case yesterday.
