Ludhiana Woman Allegedly Abducted at Gunpoint After Rejecting Marriage Proposal

A 29-year-old woman from Mundian Kalan, Ludhiana, was allegedly abducted at gunpoint by Sukhwinder Singh, an NRI from Moga, and his accomplices after she reportedly rejected his marriage proposal. The Jamalpur police registered a case following a complaint by the woman's brother and launched a search to locate her and arrest the accused. Preliminary investigations indicate the woman had ended a prior relationship with the main suspect, and police are verifying if she accompanied them voluntarily.
