The local Sadar police have registered a case in connection with death under mysterious circumstances of Abhiroop Singh (17), son of Bhagwant Singh, a resident of Jhamka Kalan and student of Plus 2. The case has been registered under Section 105, 3 (5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on Wednesday. Abhiroop Singh, along with his friend Arashdeep Singh of Jhamka Khurd, was found injured by the roadside on the night of July 30. He was under treatment when he succumbed to his injuries at a private hospital in Amritsar on August 6.
Bhagwant Singh, father of the deceased Abhiroop Singh, informed the police that Arashdeep Singh took Abhiroop Singh to some undisclosed destination on his motorcycle on the night of August 30. After some time, Abhiroop Singh’s grandfather received a mobile call that he and his friend Arashdeep have been injured in a road accident near a brick kiln in Bakipur village.
Arashdeep Singh, a resident of adjoining Jhamka Khurd and a friend of the deceased along with three others, have been nominated as accused in the case. Both were admitted to a local hospital by one Baljinder Singh from where Arashdeep Singh went missing. Bhagwant Singh, father of the deceased Abhiroop, refused to call the death of his son an accident and said that he was killed by hitting him in the head. Police said that further investigations have been initiated after registering a case.
