Further legal action will be taken based on their statements.” Investigators suspect she was murdered, and her body was later dumped in the rear seat of the car. The SP added, “Due to the advanced stage of decomposition, it is currently not possible to determine the presence of any injury marks. The body has been sent to Shaheed Bhai Mani Singh Civil Hospital for post-mortem.”

Last year in October, a report stated that Kamal Kaur received threats from Canada-based Khalistani extremist Arsh Dalla, who had allegedly warned her to stop posting what he deemed inappropriate videos.
