Bank manager’s body, car found in canal
Two days after a youth went missing under mysterious circumstances, his body, along with car, were fished out from the Sirhind feeder canal near Bhullar village today. The deceased was identified as Simrandeep Singh, a resident of Kotkapura Road, who was posted as a bank manager at Lakhewali near here.
His family had informed the police that Simrandeep had gone somewhere with his friends on Wednesday night, but did not return. A search operation was launched and a car’s tyre marks were spotted along the canal.
A team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and some private divers recovered the body and car from the canal today.
Muktsar SSP Tushar Gupta said the police were questioning Simrandeep’s friends to ascertain if it was an accident or there was some foul play behind the death.
