Investigators are now probing the possibility that the alleged assault and burning took place in Sector 34 itself.The Chandigarh Police on Wednesday said that they made the first arrest in connection with the abduction and death of Punjabi social media influencer Manjit Kaur nearly two months ago, and that the interrogation of the accused opened a fresh line of investigation into what happened on the intervening night of July 3 and 4.
Police said Paraminder Singh, alias Pinda (25), an associate of the main accused Rinku, and a resident of Khanowal in Kapurthala district, was arrested while travelling in a Fortuner at the Sector 48 motor market on Wednesday.
Police sources, however, said that investigators ruled out the Fortuner as the vehicle used in the crime. Investigators are now focusing on a white Swift that emerged as the suspected vehicle used in the alleged abduction and subsequent movement of Kaur, they said.
