Sources in the police said Kesar Singh has properties in different parts of Punjab. He has property in Sangrur, a farmhouse at Zirakpur, a shop at SAS Nagar besides some land in Punjab. Harpinder had a long-time dispute with his father over their ancestral land in Sangrur. He has been booked for attempt to murder.
