Four days after the murder of Parminder Tiwari, a Congress leader and Machhiwara block president, police arrested two main suspects, Vijay Kumar and Lucky, in Bihar. Tiwari was attacked with an axe on Sunday evening near Takhran village, leading to his death shortly after being rushed to a hospital. The victim's family had withheld last rites, demanding the suspects' arrest, which prompted the police's swift action. The suspects had been hiding in Bihar since the incident. The police are now bringing them back to Ludhiana for further interrogation to uncover the motive behind the murder and the sequence of events. The murder has raised concerns among local Congress leaders about the deteriorating law and order situation in Punjab, which they claim has endangered party workers.
