Chaneil Singh’s body was recovered from Sector 4 area here.
“Yes, we have recovered the body today. Our investigation is on and right now, we cannot comment further,” Karnal’s Superintendent of Police Rakesh Kumar Arya told IANS.
Police said Chaneil was made witness in the murder of former village headman Karam Singh.
Karam Singh’s badly stabbed body was found near the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) in Karnal June 7.
Names of former Haryana tourism and transport minister Om Prakash Jain and Chief Parliamentary Secretary (CPS) Zile Ram Sharma figured in the case. Both were forced to quit on the issue.
Police sources said that Chaneil was a relative of Karam Singh and he had also paid Rs.400,000 to Zile Ram Sharma to arrange a job for his relative.
