Ludhiana: Two days after the brutal murder of 19-year-old Kamaljeet Singh of Mohalla Adarsh Nagar, who was fatally assaulted by a group of youngsters after a tiff over purchase of a beer bottle, kin of the deceased staged a protest on Tuesday.
They gathered outside the liquor vend near Ludhiana Railway station, where the youth was murdered, and demanded arrest of the remaining accused. They also forced the liquor vend to close for the day.
The family said that the liquor vend remains open all night, which leads to drunken brawls. Inspector Gaganpreet Singh, SHO, division number 1 police station reached the spot and pacified the protesters. He said that the three main accused, Happy, Shiva and Ankit, were arrested hours after the murder. He assured the family that the police would arrest the remaining accused, Sandeep and Sunil soon.
