Accused Tejinder Singh is a resident of village Ikolaha and is the vice president of Akali Dal Kisan Wing.
His brother Kulwinder Singh has also been named in the case, who is still absconding. One of the accused Ranjeet Singh was arrested by the police on September 11 along with a licensed revolver. Then the police told that the accused Ranjeet and Trilochan Singh had a fight a few years ago. Despite the settlement, Ranjeet had a grudge. That is why he shot Trilochan Singh with his licensed revolver and killed him. He fired four bullets, two of which hit the stomach and one hit the head.
Was the murder due to political rivalry?
Trilochan Singh had contested the sarpanch election in the village on behalf of Akali Dal last time but he lost. Some time ago he joined Aam Aadmi Party. The party had made him the president of the farmer wing. Trilochan Singh was preparing to contest the sarpanch election in the village this time too. Meanwhile, he was murdered. AAP leader Trilochan Singh was returning home from his farm on Monday evening. Someone shot him on the way to the village. His body was found lying on the roadside. His son, with the help of local people, took him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Trilochan Singh’s son Harpreet Singh had alleged murder and said that his father was killed due to enmity. The police is also investigating the case from every angle.
