The Panchkula Police have arrested three accused in the double murder case involving a brother-in-law and his brother-in-law in Sector 19, where two men were killed following an alleged personal rivalry. The accused have been sent to two days of police remand as investigators continue efforts to arrest the remaining suspects and recover the weapons and vehicles used in the crime.
According to Inspector Sombir Dhaka, Station House Officer of Sector 20 Police Station, police received information on July 4 that Sanjeet, a resident of Sector 19, had died after being attacked with sharp-edged weapons. A police team rushed to the Sector 6 Civil Hospital and, during the investigation, traced the crime scene to an open area near the CID underpass.
During the search, police also recovered the body of Arjun alias Cheeta, a resident of Kharak Mangoli, who had sustained multiple fatal injuries caused by sharp-edged weapons. The Scene of Crime team examined the spot and collected important forensic evidence. During the investigation, Arjun’s sister told police that her brother had been in a long-term relationship with Sanjeet’s sister and that the couple had married at a temple.
