According to details, the incident took place in the afternoon when Santokh was watching television inside his house, along with his wife Mahinder Kaur.

Mahinder Kaur told the police that she opened the door and three persons entered her house. “Suspects, who had come in a Verna car, entered the house claiming they wanted to meet my son Sukhdev Singh.
