Ludhiana police (in the state of Punjab in India) have successfully solved a blind murder case following the discovery of a bludgeoned body in Transport Nagar on March 10. The police have arrested two individuals, who were identified as associates of the victim. The motive behind the crime was reportedly suspicion that the victim had provided information to the police, leading to the arrest of one of the suspects.

The deceased, identified as Surinderpal Singh, also known as Sajan, was found in Transport Nagar. Police apprehended Sanjay Kumar, alias Bunty, from Deep Nagar near Dhuri Lines, and Rajwinder Singh, alias Raja, from Manjit Nagar.
