Influencer's murder: Bathinda police set ball rolling to extradite Mehron from UAE
Mehron, the head of the radical outfit 'Quam de Rakhe', is the main conspirator and prime accused in the murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, also known as Kamal Kaur Bhabhi.
To strengthen their case for his deportation, the police obtained an arrest warrant for Mehron from a local court on June 17, after he had reportedly taken responsibility for Kanchan's murder via social media posts.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Amneet Kondal confirmed that the communication sent to BoI includes detailed information about the murder and Mehron's role in the crime.
'This letter will assist in the initiation of the extradition process. With the help of Interpol, Mehron can be detained abroad,' said SSP Kondal, although she declined to elaborate on the specifics of the letter.
The murder took place on the night of June 9-10, when Mehron, along with associates Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh, allegedly strangled Kanchan in her car. They later dumped her decomposing body in the parking lot of Adesh Medical College and Hospital in Bhucho, Bathinda.
Police say the murder was motivated by Kanchan's controversial social media posts, which allegedly offended the Sikh community.
The victim's body was discovered on the evening of June 11, and police termed the crime as unauthorised moral policing. According to officials privy of the matter, Mehron fled to Amritsar shortly after the murder, boarding an international flight to the UAE on the morning of June 10.
While the location of Mehron in the UAE is still unclear, officials confirmed that at least four social media platforms associated with him have been suspended in India due to the dissemination of videos and audio that contained death threats and racist comments directed at digital content creators.
The case has stirred controversy, with several religious leaders and social media influencers from Punjab and Haryana voicing their support for Mehron. Despite this, no police action has been taken against those justifying the murder.
The SSP further stated that there is no new evidence suggesting that Mehron is still active on social media. The police investigation has linked five individuals to the crime. So far, Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh have been arrested, while Mehron remains in hiding in the UAE. Another suspect, Ranjit Singh from Tarn Taran, is also absconding.
'Our teams are continuing raids at various locations to apprehend Ranjit. The fifth suspect, who assisted Ranjit in helping Mehron reach Amritsar, is yet to be identified,' said SSP Kondal. A lookout circular (LOC) has already been issued against Ranjit Singh.

26 yrs on, jathedar urges govt to reveal truth behind Chattisinghpura massacre
Amritsar: Highlighting the plight of the families of 35 innocent Sikhs who were brutally killed in Chattisinghpura village of Anantnag district in Jammu and Kashmir on March 20, 2000, Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj, the officiating jathedar of the Akal Takht, on Tuesday called on the Jammu and Kashmir govt to "disclose the truth" behind the incident. The jathedar, in a statement, mentioned that the tragic incident had not only shook the Sikhs of Kashmir but the entire community worldwide. "The families of those martyred Sikhs are still waiting for justice, as the truth behind the massacre has not been brought to light till today," he said, adding that it was the responsibility of the govt to reveal the reality. Giani Gargajj also visited the memorial of the 35 innocent Sikhs and participated in the Gurmat Samagam organised by the local Sikh community. He also witnessed the wall that still bears the bullet marks from that massacre. "It is painful that, even after so many years, the perpetrators of this massacre have neither been exposed nor punished," said the jathedar. The bullet marks still stand as testimony to how the Sikh community, despite being a minority, has repeatedly been made a target, he added. He also met the family members of the martyrs and expressed his solidarity with them. MSID:: 123386012 413 | Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Harjinder Singh's Turnpike crash sparks outrage; netizens share similar reckless driving video from Canada, demand industry probe
Recent incidents involving Sikh truck drivers have sparked controversy and concern online, particularly after Hajinder Singh's fatal Turnpike truck crash that claimed three lives on August 15, 2025. Now, a similar video from Winnipeg, Canada, showing another turbaned Sikh truck driver allegedly driving recklessly, has reignited debates across social media. Netizens are now questioning whether enough oversight exists within the North American trucking industry, especially given the recurring pattern in both the US and Canada. While critics claim that some individuals in these roles, often asylum seekers or recent immigrants, are exploiting the system. As the videos circulate widely, calls for stricter background checks and investigations into the trucking sector are growing louder. Similar act of reckless driving in Canada surfaces on social media Following the buzz on social media regarding Hajinder Singh, the man behind the killing of 3 people in California, a video showing a Sikh truck driver engaging in reckless driving in Winnipeg, Canada, has recently surfaced on the internet. The clip has reignited concerns about the safety and calls for stricter regulations within the trucking industry. X (formerly called Twitter), who shared the video, also stated, 'Instead of protecting their own Canadian and American citizens, the governments of Canada and the USA 🇺🇸 continue to support these Sikh turban asylum seekers who protest every single day for Khalistan.' The tweet read, 'Turban stands for illegal alien and anarchy. The Sikh truck driver Harjinder Singh, who killed 3 people in Florida is not even old news, and yet again another Sikh truck driver wearing a turban in Winnipeg, Canada, is doing exactly the same thing.' Turban Stands for Illegal Alien and AnarchyThe Sikh truck driver Harjinder Singh who killed 3 people in Florida is not even old news, and yet again another Sikh truck driver wearing a turban in Winnipeg, Canada, is doing exactly the same instead of protecting their… Netizens call for strict action after fatal crash As the incident sparked debate online, the president of a Canada-based company shared a post mentioning that similar incidents have been reported in Canada too. With large-scale immigration, some individuals have allegedly found ways to exploit the system, obtaining licences through mills run by foreigners. This has raised calls for a thorough investigation of the trucking industry and demands for stricter immigration enforcement and deportations. The tweet read, 'Another POS that shouldn't even be in America kills a family of 3 with a semi truck. Harjinder Singh crossed into the US illegally and got licensed in sanctuary state of California. The braidead muppet decided to do an illegal u turn on an interstate killing a family. He didn't even blink at it.' Another POS that shouldn't even be in America kills a family of 3 with a semi Singh crossed into the US illegally and got licensed in sanctuary state of braidead muppet decided to do an illegal u turn on an interstate killing a family. He didn't… 'The whole trucking industry needs to be investigated. Time for mass deportation,' he added. One user added, 'Driver didn't even blink as he killed those Americans.' 'Even if you deport him, India wont accept him because most probably he fled from India and lied in US to get that License. And most likely he might be a Khalistani.' While one said, 'Sue the company he works for and the place he got his licence from, take everything from them, their homes and businesses, and then deport them all. And him put him in jail for 50 years and toss the key.' "As far as the illegal alien truck driver that got his commercial license in California and drove to Florida and caused the death of 3 people during an illegal U-turn, the DOJ should make California and Gavin Newsom accomplices to the deaths from aiding and abetting."
