Two Labourers Arrested for Chandigarh Cab Driver's Murder Following CCTV Breakthrough
Two labourers, Punjabdeep Singh and Harpreet Singh from Mansa, were arrested for the murder of 31-year-old cab driver Vijay Kumar in Chandigarh's Sector 38 West. Kumar was stabbed, reportedly while seated in the backseat, with a fatal chest wound. The suspects allegedly drove the cab around the city before abandoning it and fled to Delhi and Rohtak. Police tracked them using CCTV footage, as the suspects avoided phone use, complicating the investigation. Punjabdeep Singh has a prior criminal case from 2023.
