Senior journalist KJ Singh, mother murdered in Mohali
Saturday, September 23, 2017 IST
A senior Punjab journalist KJ Singh and his mother were found dead in their house in Mohali on Saturday in what police believe to be a case of murder.
Mohali senior superintendent police Kuldeep Chahal confirmed the double murder in Phase 3B2 and said the motive was being investigated.
Police sources said Singh was found with his throat slit, while his mother, Gurcharan Kaur, is believed to have been strangled.
Singh’s Ford Ikon car is also missing, they said.
The murder came to light around 1pm when a visitor went inside the house after getting no response at the gate.
Singh was a former news editor of the Indian Express, The Tribune and The Times of India in Chandigarh.
Though unrelated, Singh is the third journalist to be killed in India within days of the murder of Gauri Lankesh, a Kannada journalist, and Shantanu Bhowmik, who was killed in Tripura earlier this week.
