Key Questions Answered
Navjot Singh was shot dead at his car washing centre in Tahkala village by two unidentified men who fired at him from close range. Police are investigating whether his murder is connected to an unresolved dispute over his marriage to a 50-year-old widow whose New Zealand-based sons strongly opposed the relationship.
The sons allegedly opposed their mother's court marriage to Navjot Singh and had a running dispute concerning her property and money. They previously brought her back home, filed a case against Navjot, and visited the village two months prior to the incident for an unresolved meeting, placing them under police scanner following the daylight murder.
Milak Khanam SHO Naresh Kumar stated that police are examining CCTV footage of the attack, searching for the attackers, and investigating all possible angles including family, money, and property disputes. The victim's body was sent for a post-mortem examination, and further legal action will proceed based on the family's complaint.
