Punjab Man Arrested for Killing Live-in Partner's Teen Daughter and Burning BodyPreviousNext

A 23-year-old man, Gurvinder Singh, was arrested in Punjab's Nawanshahr for allegedly strangling his live-in partner's 15-16-year-old daughter on May 29. The victim reportedly opposed their relationship. After killing her at her home, he stuffed her body into a suitcase, transported it about 30 km, and set it on fire in a forest near Khuralgarh village. The mother had filed a missing person complaint, and police identified the suspect through CCTV footage. The charred remains were recovered, and investigations continue.
