Five years after a youth was found dead in 2021, Ajnala police have completed their probe and filed a murder case against six suspects linked to an illicit relationship.
The Punjab police unit at Ajnala thana announced on Thursday that the murder investigation, which began after a young man's body was discovered in 2021, has now reached its conclusion. The investigation focused on an alleged illicit relationship that allegedly motivated the killing.
According to the official statement, six individuals have been formally charged with murder. The police said the evidence gathered over the five‑year probe, including forensic and testimonial material, was sufficient to file the case without external assistance.
The case, which remained dormant for several years, is expected to be forwarded to the district court for trial. No further details about the victim or the accused have been released pending legal proceedings.
