Murder accused Amritpal Singh Mehron glorified in posters; Golden Temple head Granthi's support sparks outrage
CHANDIGARH: Amritpal Singh Mehron, the main accused in the murder of Punjab-based social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, also known as Kamal Kaur Bhabi, is now being glorified as a "hero" in parts of Punjab. Flex-boards depicting Mehron with phrases such as 'Kaum Da Heera' (Jewel of the Community) and 'Izattan De Rakhe' (Protector of Honour) have appeared in Ludhiana, sparking outrage and concern. What has caused further alarm is that Malkiat Singh, the Head Granthi of the Golden Temple, has come out in open support of Mehron. Speaking on the matter, Malkiat Singh alleged that the victim had adopted a Sikh name with the intention of tarnishing the image of the Sikh community. He claimed that Kamal Kaur's name misled people into believing she belonged to a Sikh family. 'Sikh history is filled with examples where those engaging in indecent activities were punished,' he said. 'According to Sikh teachings, we are discouraged from listening to vulgar songs. People spreading obscenity and defaming the community deserve such treatment. Nothing wrong has happened it's not the first time such a thing has occurred.'

Punjab: ‘Nothing wrong has happened': Takht head granthi backs Mehron's act
The Akal Takht Sahib's head granthi, Giani Malkit Singh, on Monday justified the recent murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, also known as 'Kamal Kaur Bhabhi', stating that the act was 'appropriate' in light of her alleged role in promoting obscenity. 'We should not listen to vulgar songs... This kind of treatment should be meted out to those who indulge in spreading vulgarity and defaming Sikh community. Nothing wrong has happened. This has happened earlier as well,' he told reporters. The Takht head granthi is the second highest position after the jathedar. While jathedar focuses on the issues concerning the entire community, head granthi looks after 'maryada' and daily routine rituals and ceremonies held at the highest Sikh temporal seat. Kumari's body was found inside a car in the parking area of Adesh University in Bathinda on June 11. According to police, Kanchan, a resident of Lachman colony in Ludhiana, was strangled to death. Two suspects, Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh, have been arrested while the main accused, Amritpal Singh Mehron, is reported to have fled to the UAE, as per police. Bhatinda senior superintendent of police Amneet Kondal said on Sunday that police had already issued a lookout circular against Mehron, a resident of Moga. Mehron (30) is a self-styled Sikh radical leader who heads a radical organisation, 'Qaum De Rakhe'. He is also accused of issuing threats to at least two other Punjab-based women social media influencers. The police said they have also blocked some of his social media handles. After the alleged murder, a video had surfaced on the internet where Mehron claimed that Kanchan was killed due to her 'immoral and vulgar content' on social media and two of his accomplices have been arrested in connection with the case. He also warned other influencers creating 'objectionable content' to refrain from such activities. Targeting another Punjab-based influencer, he said it is 'not necessary that a body will be found every time', as he indirectly referred to Kanchan's body being left in her car. Meanwhile, Amritsar-based social media influencer Deepika Luthra was provided security by Punjab Police after she received similar threats from Mehron and others.

Haryana Model's Throat Slit, Body Dumped In Canal In Sonipat

The victim, identified as Sheetal, used to work as a model in the Haryanvi music industry. The reason for the brutal murder is not yet known, with the accused currently on the run.

Upon investigation, the police found her body in a canal near the Khanda village. The body has been sent for post-mortem, and the search is on for the accused, officials said. Last week, the body of a social media influencer, Kamal Kaur, was found in a car in the parking lot of a Punjab-based university - the Adesh Medical University on Bathinda-Chandigarh National Highway. The body, which was discovered on the back seat of a vehicle bearing Ludhiana registration plates, was initially unidentifiable. A foul smell emanating from the car prompted a complaint, following which officers reached the scene. According to the police, Ms Kaur had left home on June 9, informing her family she was heading to Bathinda to attend a promotional event. There had been no contact since. A CCTV footage shows a man driving the car in which Ms Kaur's body was found.
