In Patiala, India, police arrested Gagandeep Singh for the alleged murder of his live-in partner, Kamalpreet Kaur, aged 28. The incident occurred on February 23, 2023, when Gagandeep reportedly shot Kamalpreet with his licensed pistol and later burned her body in his tile factory to eliminate evidence.
