In a heartbreaking turn of events, Punjabi singer and makeup artist Inder Kaur, known affectionately as Yashinder Kaur, was found dead in the Neelon Canal in Ludhiana, Punjab. The 29-year-old artist, whose vibrant melodies had captured the hearts of many, had been reported missing since May 13.
Inder Kaur, who had collaborated with numerous popular artists, was on the rise in the Punjabi music scene, celebrated for her talent and charisma. However, her promising future was cut tragically short. Her family reported her missing after alleging that she was abducted at gunpoint by a man named Sukhwinder Singh, who resides in Canada, along with several accomplices.
The motive behind this shocking crime appears to stem from a failed romantic pursuit; Sukhwinder allegedly insisted that Inder marry him, a request she vehemently declined upon discovering his existing marriage and children. The investigation has revealed that Sukhwinder orchestrated the kidnapping from Canada and returned there via Nepal shortly after committing the heinous act.
In response to the distressing situation, law enforcement has made significant strides, arresting Sukhwinder’s father and another associate as they work to unravel the details of this tragic case.
