The Punjab Bureau of Investigation (PBI), Mohali, claimed to have cracked the blind murder case of a labourer with the arrest of three suspects.
The labourer, Shyam Singh, a resident of Amb Sahib Colony, Mohali, was found in an unconscious state in Sector 65, in October last year. Police had shifted him to Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, where he succumbed during treatment.
The accused have been identified as Gaj Ram, a resident of Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, Satvir alias Satta, and Mahavir Singh, of Muradabad in Uttar Pradesh. As per the police, the trio have confessed to their crime. They said they had been gambling with the victim on the occasion of Diwali. The victim had won Rs 60,000 in the game, which they wanted to grab for themselves. So they attacked Shyam with sharp stones before fleeing with the cash and his mobile.
They were presented in the court on Friday.
