‘Sone Di Chirhi’ Fame Punjabi Singer Inder Kaur Found Dead In Ludhiana Canal Days After Going Missing, 2 Held

Punjabi singer and makeup artist Inder Kaur, also known as Yashinder Kaur, was found dead in a canal in Ludhiana nearly a week after she went missing, police confirmed on Tuesday. The 29 year-old had reportedly left her home on May 13 in her car and did not return, prompting her family to allege that she had been kidnapped.

Family Alleges Murder Linked To Rejected Marriage Proposal

According to police and the victim's family, Inder Kaur, a resident of Jamalpur in Ludhiana, was allegedly targeted after she rejected a marriage proposal from a Canada-based man identified as Sukhwinder Singh. Her brother had earlier accused Sukhwinder of orchestrating her abduction.

The family claimed that the accused had developed a friendship with Inder Kaur through Instagram around three years ago. However, tensions reportedly escalated after she discovered that he was already married and had children. Following this, she allegedly decided to end all ties with him and refused to marry him.

Two Arrested, Main Accused Escapes To Canada

Police said Sukhwinder Singh fled to Canada after allegedly planning the crime. Officials confirmed that his father, Pritam Singh, and his associate, Karamjit Singh, have been arrested in connection with the case.

Investigators revealed that the accused allegedly travelled from Canada to Punjab through Nepal and hired two taxis from Moga to carry out the abduction. After allegedly killing Inder Kaur near the canal in Ludhiana, he reportedly escaped back to Canada using the same Nepal route.

"The body has been sent to Samrala Civil Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Further investigation into the matter is underway," a police officer said.

Singer Had Left Music Industry Five Years Ago

Inder Kaur had stepped away from singing nearly five years ago and had started managing a boutique and makeup studio. Despite taking a break from the music industry, she remained known among Punjabi music listeners and had gained popularity on social media over the years.

She was recognised for songs including Sone Di Chirhi, Jija, Sohna Lagda, and Desi Sirre Da. Her death has shocked many fans and members of the Punjabi entertainment industry.
