Singhu lynching: Court extends police remand of four accused by two days

Police had sought four days remand for identification of other co-accused and to examine some CCTV footages collected from the crime scene. Virender Singh, deputy superintendent of police, law and order, said, “All four accused were produced in district court and sent to two days remand. We have to probe and identify other co-accused in the crime and also examine some CCTV footages. A team has also gone to Punjab for the probe.”

Police said the desecration claim is yet to be verified.

On October 15, Lakhbir Singh, a resident of Cheema Kalan in Tarn Taran, Punjab, was lynched and strung up to a barricade at the farmers’ protest site in Singhu.
