Ludhiana Man Found Dismembered in Drum as Police Book Friend and Wife, Launch Manhunt

Investigators booked two suspects after CCTV showed a drum hauled to the vacant plot.

Overview

  • Police recovered Davinder Singh’s remains in six pieces near Jalandhar Bypass, with the head inside a white plastic drum and one part partially burnt.
  • A passer-by alerted officers to the drum near a private school in the Salem Tabri area, prompting a cordon of the site and forensic evidence collection.
  • CCTV footage captured Shamsher Singh, known as Shera, carrying the drum with an accomplice, and police have booked Shera, his wife Kuldeep Kaur, and unidentified aides.
  • ADCP Sameer Verma said the suspects are on the run as a search continues, with the cause of death to be confirmed after a postmortem examination.
  • Davinder, 30, had returned from Mumbai two days earlier and left home shortly after arriving, and the case follows an unidentified charred body found in Meharban three days prior with no confirmed link so far.
