Police had initially conducted inquest proceedings under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and a postmortem on August 24.
According to the complaint, Singh had returned from the US with his wife and planned to set up a pharmaceutical company and pharmacy college. He later reconnected with Garg, a childhood acquaintance from Mustafabad, Haryana, who allegedly introduced him to Bagga and encouraged him to invest in property in the tricity.
