Court Extends Judicial Custody of Amritpal Singh Mehron in Influencer Murder Case

A Bathinda court extended the judicial custody of Amritpal Singh Mehron, accused in the June 2025 murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, alias Kamal Kaur Bhabhi, until May 13. Mehron, who fled to the UAE after the alleged strangulation over 'immoral' content, was deported to India in April. Police have arrested three associates and continue investigating, though requests for a voice sample and identification parade were denied by the court.
