Slapping an unemployed youth for sitting in a park next to his house cost senior journalist KJ Singh his life, claimed the Mohali police on Thursday.
Police on Thursday arrested 27-year-old Gaurav Kumar, who hails from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh and was staying at Kajheri village in neighbouring Chandigarh, for the brutal murder of KJ Singh, 64, and his bed-ridden mother Gurcharan Kaur, 92, on the night of September 22.
What led to his undoing was KJ’s car that he had taken away after the double murder.
It was around 12:15pm on Thursday that the police control room (PCR) vehicle number 26 on patrol on the YPS-Sohana road saw the green Ford Ikon with a suspicious number: PB-64A-6474. The original number of the car was PB-65A-0164.
