Ludhiana court: Life term for pre-planned revenge killing
15 Jan
Summary
- Two men sentenced to life for 2021 murder of 18-year-old salesman.
- Revenge killing stemmed from romantic rivalry, court found.
- Victim's body found hidden based on accused's disclosure statements.
In a significant legal development, two men, Robin Singh and Kulwinder Singh, have been sentenced to life imprisonment by a Ludhiana court for the 2021 murder of Tushar Kumar, an 18-year-old salesman. The court found the killing to be a pre-planned act of revenge, triggered by a personal grievance over a shared romantic interest. This verdict concludes a lengthy wait for justice for the victim's family, following Tushar Kumar's disappearance on December 23, 2021.
The investigation revealed a conspiracy hatched by Robin Singh after he discovered Tushar Kumar was involved with a woman he was also befriending. Instead of direct confrontation, Robin Singh and his associates devised a plan to lure Tushar Kumar to his death. The court's decision was heavily influenced by a chain of circumstantial evidence, including the recovery of the victim's body from a concealed pit, directly linked to disclosure statements made by the accused.
