The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday filed a chargesheet against Kalyani Singh, daughter of Himachal Pradesh high court judge Sabina Singh, in connection with the murder of national-level shooter and lawyer Sukhmanpreet Singh alias Sippy Sidhu in Chandigarh in 2015.

Kalyani Singh was arrested on June 15 this year on the basis of documentary evidence suggesting she and Sippy were in a romantic relationship that later turned sour, CBI officers had said earlier.

In its chargesheet, a copy of which HT has seen, the CBI said it has “direct” evidence to prove the 36-year-old’s role in the case.
