Significant disclosures have surfaced following the arrest of two suspects from Gurdaspur in Punjab in connection with an explosion on a railway track in Rajasthan's Sriganganagar district. Relatives of the accused, identified as Mehakdeep Kaur and Davinder Singh, have spoken out about their personal backgrounds and recent conduct after their apprehension by Rajasthan Police. Authorities recovered two pistols from the duo during the operation, while investigators continue to examine potential cross-border links involving a Pakistani network. Statements provided by both families have shed light on the circumstances leading up to the incident.
Mehakdeep Kaur’s Background and Personal History
Accused Mehakdeep Kaur belongs to Dostpur village, situated in the Kalanaur border belt of Gurdaspur district. Her father, Tirlok Singh, revealed that she maintained minimal communication with family members and disregarded their guidance. He stated that she never disclosed the nature of her work or her whereabouts, and her distant demeanor had alienated her from the rest of the household over time.
Tirlok Singh noted that she had returned home after being away for several days, shortly before police personnel arrived at their residence. It was only upon the arrival of law enforcement that the family became aware of her alleged involvement in criminal activities. Mehakdeep’s mother, Sarabjeet Kaur, added that her daughter had completed her education up to Class 12. She further explained that Mehakdeep had married of her own accord approximately two years ago, but the marriage ended in divorce. Following her divorce, she moved in and out of the house entirely at her own discretion.
Allegations Surrounding Davinder Singh and Financial Lures
The second arrested suspect, Davinder Singh, resides in Chaura Kalan village and had also studied up to Class 12. His aunt, Sukhwinder Kaur, alongside his mother, Baljeet Kaur, alleged that Mehakdeep Kaur misled Davinder into illegal acts. Family members stated that Davinder had been in touch with Mehakdeep for the past 3 months, during which they developed a romantic relationship. Sukhwinder Kaur claimed that Mehakdeep leveraged promises of love and marriage to entangle Davinder in unlawful activities.
According to Sukhwinder Kaur, Mehakdeep had promised to pay Davinder an amount of 1 lakh rupees. Davinder reportedly left home explaining that he was going to collect the promised money. Prior to this, the family was unacquainted with Mehakdeep, as Davinder would routinely tell them he was merely visiting a friend.
Timeline of Movements and Police Investigation
The family also outlined Davinder’s movements surrounding the explosion on the railway track. Sukhwinder Kaur stated that Davinder departed from home two days before the explosion occurred, informing them that he was heading to Delhi. He returned home three days after the blast took place.
Davinder’s mother, Baljeet Kaur, added that when he originally left, he told family members he was going to Amritsar to pick up a motorcycle. He subsequently returned on 7-8 November. Law enforcement agencies are currently interrogating both suspects regarding the two confiscated pistols and investigating any broader ties to Pakistani handlers.
