Ludhiana police have arrested 41-year-old Rishipal for the murder of 37-year-old Jyoti, whose decomposed body was found in a gunny bag near Dugri in November 2025. The case was solved after Jyoti's estranged husband identified a tattoo on the victim's arm from police-circulated photos. Police stated Rishipal strangled Jyoti following an argument after she ended their live-in relationship. Investigators recovered evidence including the victim's mobile phone and motorcycle, and further inquiries continue.
