The accused husband and his mother-in-law in the Neha Bassi murder case have been ordered to remain in police custody for an additional four days.
A court in Jalandhar has extended police custody for the husband and mother‑in‑law accused in the murder of Neha Bassi, directing a four‑day remand. The order was passed after the prosecution sought additional time to interrogate the suspects and gather further evidence.
Neha Bassi, a resident of the city, was found dead earlier this year, prompting a high‑profile investigation. Police quickly arrested her husband and his mother, alleging their involvement in the killing. Both were already in custody pending trial.
The four‑day extension allows investigators to re‑examine forensic material and question the accused on new leads. The court has scheduled the next hearing to review the progress of the investigation and decide on further legal steps.
Legal experts note that such remand periods are common in complex homicide cases, where detailed interrogation is essential for building a prosecutable case. The outcome of the investigation will determine whether the accused face formal charges in a trial court.
The case continues to attract public attention in Punjab, with local media closely following each development as the judicial process unfolds.
