Missing son of retired judge dead
Fatehgarh Sahib, November 28 A student of Class XII, DAV School, Arshdeep, was reported missing since November 20 and his white Skoda was found locked near the Sirhind-Patiala road. The postmortem of the body was conducted at the Civil Hospital, where his family members, including his father, Jasbir Singh, and some senior police officials were present. Later, the body was taken to Mohali for cremation. Doctors who conducted the postmortem and police officials investigating the matter said preliminary reports suggested that he received head injury which could be one of the reasons behind his death. Police officials said a body was found in the canal on Saturday and family members and cops suspected it to be the body of Arshdeep. Since it was entangled in the bushes under a bridge, it took divers two days to fish it out. While the police had recovered one of the two mobile phones from the car, another mobile was switched off and could not be traced. The police said the family members of Arshdeep had not ruled out foul play. They said one of his friends from Chandigarh was with him and some passersby saw a black Tata Safari parked near Arshdeep’s car for some time. Senior police officials stated that the victim was reportedly upset over some personal issue and it was not yet clear if he had committed suicide or somebody had thrown him into the canal. |
