Four days after the murder of Gagandeep Singh, an employee of a cable operator, and his father Dharamvir Singh, three suspects surrendered before the police late on Tuesday evening.

They have been identified as Prempreet Singh, alias Prince, his brother Manpreet Singh and Hardeep Singh. ADCP JS Walia confirmed their arrest.

While Gagan had died on the spot after sustaining grievous stab injuries, his father Dharamvir Singh had succumbed to his head injury later. His brother Rocky had also sustained severe injuries.

Besides Prince, Manpreet and Hardeep, the police had booked Resham Singh of Guru Nanak Pura who is yet to be arrested. The ADCP said raids were on to nab him.

The victims were assaulted over a petty issue of repairing or replacing a dysfunctional set-top box. Gagandeep, worked with Fastway cable operator Mehnga Singh at Tahliwala Bazaar. He along with Jaspal Singh were present at the shop when the accused came and started using unparliamentarily language. Rocky said his brother Gagandeep Singh, Simranjit Singh and his father Dharamvir Singh also came to the shop as they were known to the accused and tried to pacify them.

He alleged that the accused had a verbal duel and attacked them with sharp-edge weapons, scissors and bricks. Gagandeep was stabbed multiple times and he died on the spot.
