00:00A disturbing case emerging from Punjab.
00:02We are told an influencer has been found dead in the parking lot.
00:06The influencer's body was found in the vehicle at a parking lot.
00:10The deceased girl has been identified as one Kanchan, resident of Ludhiana.
00:17This is and what adds on to the controversy here.
00:20The parking lot was not of a mall or a marketplace but Bhatinda University.
00:26What exactly happened?
00:28Cops are probing if there is a murder angle to this.
00:30Kamaljeet Sandhu is joining me.
00:31Kamaljeet, good morning.
00:32What are we looking at here about an influencer's death?
00:36Why is the police looking at it with suspicion?
00:46Kamaljeet, can you hear me?
00:47University which is in Bhatinda and it seems...
00:51Yes, I can hear you.
00:52Go ahead, go ahead, please.
00:53If you can hear me, what I was trying to tell you is
00:55the body of the influencer was found in the Adarsh Medical University
01:02in a parking lot inside a car park.
01:05Also, what we can tell you is that the foul smell was coming out.
01:11That is when people actually alerted the police
01:13and when they found the body, they obviously suspected a foul play.
01:18So, it believes that somebody actually did commit a murder at this point of time
01:23because this is something they are suspecting.
01:26So, they are saying the crime could have been committed elsewhere
01:30and then the car could have been parked right there.
01:33They have been extremely tight-lipped about what could have really happened.
01:37Remember, the body is being sent for post-mortem.
01:39The forensic team is very much there.
01:41But this particular woman, she had 3.83 lakh followers.
01:46Extremely popular in Ludhiana, what we have been told.
01:50So, yes, even as the family is being traced out,
01:53there seems to be an instance where things could have gone wrong,
01:57at least for the insta-queen as she was being referred to.
02:00And this is where what we know is that the body was recovered
02:03from a car parked at the medical college in Bhatinda.
02:06And this is where investigations suspect that she could have been murdered,
02:11that there has been a foul play.
02:13What sort of injuries there are, what sort of things could have happened.
02:18That is being investigated at this point of time.
02:21Kamal ji, tell me more about this influencer.
02:23So, clearly we can confirm, one, that she was not a student.
02:26She had nothing to do with the Bhatinda University,
02:29that her body was to be found in a parking lot of the same.
02:32And two, is she her popular name, any controversies around her,
02:37any information, if there was any sort of information about her
02:41in the past few days that led to any sort of conspiracy theories?
02:49Well, definitely, because there are several of these influencers who,
02:53and we have seen whether it is Punjab police, cop or otherwise,
02:57several of these people are not just local celebrities,
02:59but they have following in the rest of the country as well.
03:03So, Kamal Kaur is somebody who is popular on Instagram,
03:07and this was why she was known as Instagram Queen.
03:10Her body being found in Adesh Medical University,
03:14and what we can tell you is, there was a foul spell coming out.
03:17The first suspicion is that a crime has been committed,
03:22that this is a possible murder which has taken place.
03:25Also, the number plate does suggest that the crime could have been committed
03:29elsewhere, and the car was parked there,
03:32and it's only when the foul smell started really coming out,
03:35that is when the police actually swooped in,
03:39they were alerted, and remember, this is a medical university.
03:42So, that is why there was a reaction,
03:45but clearly, investigation needs to be done,
03:47forensics will be done, post-bottom will be conducted,
03:49and eventually, it will be the clues which will lead on to
03:52who could possibly be the killers, but at this point of time,
03:55what we can tell you is, this is not a case of natural death.
03:59This is what the police source is indicating to us,
04:02and officially, we are still awaiting a version from Punjab police,
04:05but clearly, a foul play suspected at this point of time,
04:09and a girl, a young one, Kamal Kaur from Ludhiana,
04:13found dead in Bhatinda, in a car parking of Adesh Medical University,
04:18and that is why there seems to be a lot of controversy
04:21as to what could have possibly gone wrong,
04:23whether there was some sort of an enmity on that particular ground,
04:26is there some other angle to it,
04:28all this is being part of the investigation.
