Following this, the accused killed the woman in Punjab’s Ludhiana when she came to get married to Grewal. The accused burnt her alive with coal in the house. He even made an attempt to destroy the evidence. However, the police have arrested the accused, who confessed to the murder during interrogation, and also recovered the bones of the girl. “They said that the other partner of this accused, who is abroad, is still absconding,” the DCP added. Probable motive behind the murder According to the police, Charanjit had her killed because of financial reasons. The officers stated that Pandher had transferred a substantial amount of money to him just before she visited Ludhiana.
