- Three men arrested for fatal attack on Gurvinder and his brother Rupinder
- Incident sparked by alleged snatching report, leading to mob confrontation
On October 2nd, 2025, the body of a man who was allegedly beaten and thrown into the Sidhwan Canal on suspicion of being a thief was recovered near Jawaddi Bridge in Ludhiana. The deceased, identified as Gurvinder Singh, also known as Mani, was found with an injury to his head.
Police in Sahnewal have registered a murder case and arrested three men in connection with the fatal attack, which is being investigated as a case of alleged mob justice. The three arrested suspects were identified as Ram Babu, Vijay Kumar, and Akshay Kumar, all residents of the Ganpati Colony area near Jaspal Bangar.
According to the victim's brother, Rupinder Singh, he and Gurvinder were attacked on Thursday near Jaspal Bangar village by a group of approximately 20 people who suspected the brothers were snatchers. Following the confrontation, the accused allegedly pushed Gurvinder into the canal. Rupinder immediately raised an alarm, attracting a crowd that subsequently thrashed the attackers. Some of the alleged assailants were apprehended by the public and handed over to the police, with one attacker, identified as Naresh, also suffering injuries during the scuffle.
The dispute reportedly erupted after a couple in Jaspal Bangar reported a snatching incident to their family members. Relatives and family members then converged on the spot where they encountered the two brothers and suspected them to be the culprits, leading to the clash.
