In Muktsar, deceased bank manager’s kin demand arrest of accused

Relatives of a bank manager, whose body was retrieved from a canal along with his car around a month ago, today protested outside the Police Lines demanding arrest of the accused.

Simrandeep Singh Brar, 40, a resident of Guru Angad Dev Nagar, had gone missing under mysterious circumstances on October 16. His body was fished out from the Sirhind Feeder Canal near Bhullar village on October 18.

The police on the statement of the deceased’s wife Amandeep Kaur on October 19 had booked six doctors Sandeep Sandhu, Gurraj Singh, Amrinder Sandhu, Opminder Singh, Gurpreet Brar and Maheshinder Singh, two other persons — Kaku Sandhu and Rinku Bawa — all residents of Muktsar.

Darshan Singh, father of the deceased, said, “The police are working under pressure. How come murder accused are moving freely? We are demanding their arrest for the past one month. If the accused are not nabbed, we will intensify our protest.”

Later, SP Manvinderbir Singh met the protesters and assured that action would be taken soon in this regard.
