Overview

• Punjab Police issued a lookout circular for Amritpal Singh Mehron and initiated deportation proceedings after confirming he fled to the UAE.
• Records show Mehron boarded a UAE-bound flight from Amritsar Airport at 9:15 a.m. on June 10, shortly after Kanchan Kumari was killed on June 9 in Bathinda.
• Investigators arrested two associates, Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh, who admitted the murder was planned over months as part of moral policing against 'vulgar' online content.
• State cyber units blocked four of Mehron’s Instagram handles for posting racist content and death threats to digital influencers.
• Security has been increased for other social media creators following threats from Mehron and public backing from Pakistan-based gangster Shahzad Bhatti.
