In a shocking incident, the owner of a de-addiction centre in Amritsar, along with an accomplice, has been arrested for the alleged murder of an inmate. The victim, identified as a 35-year-old man from a nearby village, was undergoing treatment at the facility. According to police reports, the accused killed the inmate and disposed of his body in a secluded area to cover up the crime.
Details of the Crime
The incident came to light when the victim's family filed a missing person complaint. During the investigation, police uncovered evidence linking the centre owner and his associate to the murder. The accused reportedly had a confrontation with the victim before the crime. Preliminary investigations suggest that the murder was premeditated, and the body was dumped in a remote location to avoid detection.
Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Both suspects were taken into custody and have been charged with murder and destruction of evidence. They are currently in police custody and will be produced before a local court. The police are also probing whether the centre had been involved in any other illegal activities.
The arrest has raised serious questions about the regulation of de-addiction centres in the region. Locals have demanded stricter oversight to prevent such incidents in the future. Authorities have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and all those responsible will be brought to justice.
