SP Bathinda, Narinder Singh, said they received a call yesterday evening reporting a foul smell coming from a car parked at Adesh Hospital. Upon investigation, police found the body of a girl in the back seat of the vehicle. Preliminary identification revealed her as Kanchan Kumari, also known as Kamal Kaur, from Ludhiana. She had left home on June 9, telling her mother she was going to attend a promotional event.

Police confirmed that the location is not the site of her death; her body was dumped in the car postmortem. The car belonged to the victim and was the same vehicle she used to leave home.

SP Bathinda, Narinder Singh said, "Yesterday evening, we received a call that a car was parked in Adesh Hospital and some foul smell was coming out of it. A police team reached there - we found the body of a girl in the back seat of that car. In the preliminary investigation, the girl was identified as Kanchan Kumari, alias Kamal Kaur of Ludhiana. She left her home on June 9 by telling her mother that she would attend a promotional event. The investigation is on. Our priority is to know how her body reached there, and who is responsible for her death, and soon, action will be taken against those responsible. It is not the death spot; her body was dumped in the car after death. The car belongs to the girl, in which she left her home."

According to police sources, Kanchan had faced criticism a few months ago from an overseas-based gangster for allegedly using objectionable language in her content.

Superintendent of Police (City) Narinder Singh confirmed on Thursday that the deceased was a 30-year-old resident of Lachman Colony, Ludhiana.
