Muktsar police have booked three people for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in connection with the death of a Shiv Sena Lion leader.

The deceased, Shiva Kumar, 24, district president of Shiv Sena Lion’s youth wing, had gone missing on December 5.
As per the complainant, Kumar left home with his friend Ramandeep, but never returned. Later his mobile phone also went off. The family eventually reported Kumar missing to the police on December 6.
A day later, police found an unidentified body near Budha Gujjar and moved it to the mortuary of the local civil hospital for identification.
Five days later, Kumar’s mother finally identified the body as that of her son on Thursday.
