The district police have questioned over 30 people, including the family of DSP Balraj Singh Gill — who was found murdered along with one Monica Kapila — for the double murders that took place at a farmhouse near Golf Links Colony on the city outskirts on February 2.
“We are working on numerous theories like contract killing, honour killing, personal or professional rivalries. We have questioned a large number of people including the families of both the DSP and the woman. This is a very high profile and prestigious case for we have lost one of our own and cannot leave anything to chance,” said DCP Ashish Chaudhry.
Asked about Gill’s father’s allegation that the “woman angle” has been planted just to defame the deceased officer, Chaudhry said: “Why should we do that? There was a woman at this farmhouse and her dead body was found there. Above all, why will we malign one of our own officers? We do not want to hurt the family in any way but solving this case and getting the guilty behind the bars is our top most priority,” said Chaudhry.
