Earlier, in a post on his group's Instagram handle, Mehron had claimed that members of his group killed Tiwari as they felt the content she posted on Instagram was obscene. They had also warned people posting 'obscene content' to remove it and apologise or face the consquences. Bathinda SSP Amneet Kondal said Bathinda police had gotten the handles of Mehron and his group withheld by reporting the matter to Punjab Police's cybercrime headquarters. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'The cybercrime wing is investigating such pages,' Kondal said. Three members of Pendu Jatt Records, a social media influencer group, have also apologised to Mehron. They uploaded a video clip on Friday with folded hands and stated that they were misled to gain followers. From now on, they said, they will not post any obscene content. Mehron's murderous act has recieved support from a Pakistanbased don, Shahzad Bhatti. He said he was ready to provide any kind of support in taking on social media influencers posting content which Mehron found 'indecent'. Tiwari was killed by strangulation on June 10 for posting indecent content on social media. Her body was recovered from a car parked in the parking lot of Adesh University near Bathinda. Two accomplices of Amritpal, Jaspreet Singh and Nimritjit Singh, have been arrested, while Mehron is on the run.
