Ludhiana man’s body found dismembered in drum friend arrested

Man Found Murdered in Ludhiana

A 30-year-old man from Ludhiana was found murdered. His dismembered body was recovered from a vacant plot near Jalandhar Bypass on Thursday morning, police said.

Details of the Incident

The victim, Davinder Singh, had returned to Ludhiana from Mumbai just two days prior. The crime was discovered when a passer-by noticed a white plastic drum near a private school close to the Salem Tabri police station in Ludhiana. Inside the drum, police found Davinder’s body hacked into three pieces, with one part partially burnt.

Family and Investigation

Davinder’s family informed police that he arrived home from Mumbai on Tuesday but left within 15 minutes and did not return. Police have detained Davinder’s friend, Shera, and another suspect for questioning.

CCTV Evidence

CCTV footage from the area shows Shera and an accomplice carrying the drum toward the plot. Investigators believe the murder occurred at a different location. They think the remains were dumped at the bypass to destroy evidence and avoid detection.

Recent Similar Incidents

This is the second murder in Ludhiana this week. Just three days ago, a charred body cut into two parts was found in a field in the Meharban area. That victim remains unidentified. The recent killings have caused panic among residents.

Forensic Investigation

Forensic teams collected samples from the site. A probe is underway to determine the motive behind the murder. The recent trend of violence is concerning. Three days ago, another charred body was found in an open field under the Meharban police station area. In that case, stray dogs were found tearing at the remains before passersby alerted the police. That body also remains unidentified, and investigators are still working on the case.
