Bathinda SSP Amneet Kondal also confirmed that Jaspreet and Nimaratjeet went to Talwandi Sabo, Kharar and Mohali before being arrested on June 13.

The SSP further said the duo, now in judicial custody, claimed during their police remand that they were unaware of the whereabouts of the main accused, Amritpal Singh Mehron. “They said Amritpal asked them to flee after the murder and assured help later. It is unclear whether they were brainwashed or genuinely unaware of his location,” said the SSP.

Kanchan’s decomposed body was found on the rear seat of a car parked outside Adesh University along the Bathinda-Chandigarh highway on the night of June 11. The police have issued lookout circulars for Amritpal, who, as per the police claim, fled to the UAE hours after the murder, and his alleged accomplice Ranjit Singh of Sohal village in Tarn Taran district. A suspect remains unidentified.

According to the police, the murder was an act of moral policing.
