At about 12 noon two youths came to her house door on a motorbike carrying a box of sweats. They said that their son had reached the US close to her son safely and they had come to thank you.

No other CCTV camera was found in the area. Dharminder, who is a tenant of the victim and runs a ‘dhaba’ was interrogated and was asked to hand over the clipping of CCTV camera installed at his ‘dhaba’ for the last 20 days period. He said that accused who had come on a motorbike also took away the box containing sweats along with them so as not to leave any lead. 

Dharminder’s wife noticed the two accused entering the house but thought that they might be known to Sukhwant Kaur, so did not bother to watch down.
