On October 25, 2025, the Sahnewal police in Ludhiana, India, have booked four men for culpable homicide after their 31-year-old friend allegedly died due to a drug overdose in Rurka village. The case was registered based on a complaint filed by the father of the deceased, Rashpal Singh.

When Gurinder did not return home, Rashpal started searching for him. He eventually found the accused injecting drugs into Gurinder's right arm in a vacant area.
