His body was thrown in Bhakra canal, which was recovered and handed over to his relatives.
The police have nabbed Ajit Singh and Golu Kumar while Boby Mehra is yet to be arrested. According to the police, in 2017, Gurdev Singh was an accused in the murder case of Bhagat Singh, who was a brother of Ajit Singh, but he was acquitted by the court in 2019. His brother, Ajit Singh used to threaten him and had held a grudge against him. Reportedly, Ajit Singh murdered Gurdev Singh with his accomplices to avenge the murder of Bhagat Singh.
