Ludhiana: Two days after a man was found murdered at a vacant plot in Jugiyana village, Sahnewal, the police on Tuesday claimed to have solved the case with the arrest of two.
On February 28 afternoon, children playing in the area had raised the alarm on noticing the body, which had a piece of cloth tied around its neck and a disfigured face.
After identifying the body as that of Shanti Pandey, 27, a resident of Guru Gobind Singh Nagar, Shimlapuri, the police zeroed in on his two friends —Pawan Thakur, of the same locality, and Roshan Kumar of Daba. They were arrested after they spilled the beans during interrogation.
