A 29-year-old Punjabi singer, Inder Kaur, was found dead in a canal in Punjab, a week after being kidnapped at gunpoint from Ludhiana.
The police suspect that her murder was orchestrated by Sukhwinder Singh, a married man from Moga, who had proposed to her, but she rejected him.
Sukhwinder, who is currently based in Canada, allegedly fled to Nepal and then to Punjab to execute the crime, hiring two taxis from Moga for the abduction.
His father, Pritam Singh, and an aide, Karamjit Singh, have been arrested, but Sukhwinder is still at large.
The police are investigating the case and have recovered the victim's car from the canal.
