A Special
Police Officer who kidnapped a 7-year-old boy and later threw him in
a river has been arrested. Seven-year-old Puneet Pal Singh's body
was found floating in the Kanjali rivulet in Kapurthala. Puneet was
kidnapped by Special Police Officer Manvir Singh from the
Model Town
residence of the boy's father and his friend Sukhwinder Pal Singh,
who is in Spain.
Kapurthala City
DSP Sukhdev Singh Chinna said the SPO after abducting the boy took
him on his scooter to the Kanjali rivulet and threw him. He said
from the appearance of the body it seemed the boy was first
strangulated and then thrown into the rivulet.In Jalandhar, the
police said the SPO thereafter drove away a parked car in which
Slovak national Monica Sagginova, who was accompanying husband
Gurpreet Singh, an Austriabased NRI, was sitting on the back seat.
The couple were
coming back from Jalandhar and had stopped at Kartarpur for
shopping. Seeing the car with the ignition on, Manvir drove it away.
The woman's husband reported the incident to the police and it
nabbed Manvir after some time. It was during his preliminary
interrogation after being nabbed that Manvir confessed he had thrown
the boy into the rivulet. The Kapurthala police suspect the alleged
illicit relations between the SPO and the mother of the deceased as
one of the reasons behind the abduction and murder of the child.
