Baljit Kaur is a resident of Sidharth Colony of Shahbad in Kurukshetra. The woman lives with her brother and father. Her brother works at the SDM office in Kurukshetra while her father runs a milk business.

Some construction work is being carried out at the house where Pappalpreet and Amritpal stayed on the night of March 19.

She was detained and other family members were questioned. The duo reached here on a white Scooty. While Pappalpreet was driving the two-wheeler, Amritpal was riding pillion. He was wearing a turban and goggles. The police have obtained a CCTV footage and are examining the CCTV footage of the nearby areas.”
