The CBI will produce Kalyani Singh, the main accused in the murder of Sukhmanpreet Singh Sidhu alias Sippy Sidhu, in the court on Tuesday as the agency’s two-day custody comes to an end.
Kalyani, daughter of Acting Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court Sabina, was arrested by the CBI last Wednesday after several rounds of questioning. He was initially sent to four days’ police custody on June 15, whose police custody was extended by two days on June 19.
Sources said the bureau has so far taken Kalyani to the Sector 27 public park where Sippy was shot dead in September 2015 for recreating the crime scene. Kalyani has also been taken by the CBI to Sippy Sidhu’s office in Mohali.
National level shooter and advocate Sukhmanpreet Singh Sidhu alias Sippy Sidhu was shot dead in a park in Sector 27 on September 20, 2015. A 12 bore shot gun was used in the crime and four bullets were fired from it.
Kalyani’s lawyer Sartej Narula had so far rejected the claims made by Sippy’s family that they had turned down the marriage proposal. Narula had read out in court two emails sent by Sippy Sidhu on August 18 and August 29, 2015. In an email sent on August 29, Sippy had sought an “apology” and another “opportunity”.
