Panchkula police arrested two Mohali residents, Sangam Kumar and Vijay Kumar, after a 120-hour investigation involving over 400 CCTV cameras into the April 28 murder of 32-year-old gig worker Harinder Singh. The victim, a Rapido driver, and the accused were former residents of a de-addiction center and had resumed drug use. Police said a dispute led the accused to overdose Singh, then transport and throw him from a bridge, causing his death. Evidence including the vehicle and blood-stained clothes was recovered.
