Kamal Kaur death case: CCTV footage reveals key clue in social media influencer's death case in Bathinda

Kamal Kaur death case: A crucial CCTV video has come to light in the mysterious death of Punjab-based social media influencer Kamal Kaur, also known as Kanchan Kumari and Bhabhi Kamal Kaur. The footage, dated June 10, captures a suspicious sequence involving a parked car at Adesh Medical University in Bathinda—where Kamal Kaur’s body was later discovered. This surveillance clip is now central to the murder investigation being pursued by the Punjab Police.

According to the video timestamped at 5.33 am, a Hyundai Eon enters the hospital's parking lot. A Sikh man is seen stepping out of the vehicle while talking on the phone. He appears to gesture toward someone regarding where to park. After momentarily walking into the premises, he returns, gets back in the car, and finally parks it more properly before leaving the site, still on the phone. This brief but telling clip may hold answers to how Kamal’s body ended up in that car.

Timeline and discovery

Kamal Kaur’s body was found late on June 12, locked inside a car in the hospital’s parking lot. The discovery was made after locals reported a foul smell emanating from the vehicle. Volunteers from Sahara Jan Sewa Sanstha reached the scene following a tip-off. Upon opening the locked car, they found a decomposed female body inside, later identified as Kamal Kaur based on the vehicle registration number.

She had reportedly travelled from Ludhiana to Bathinda on June 9 for a promotion event. Her belongings, including a purse and a bag, were found in the car but contained no identifying documents.

Bathinda SSP Amneet Kondal confirmed that the case is being treated as a possible homicide. “There’s something suspicious. A murder case FIR is being registered,” she stated. SP Narinder Singh added that early indications suggest the murder occurred elsewhere, and the body was later placed in the parked car. Forensic experts have been called in to assist with the investigation, and a post-mortem report is awaited for confirmation.

Kamal Kaur: A controversial influencer

Kamal, a Ludhiana resident, had garnered over 3,86,000 followers on Instagram, primarily for her bold and controversial reels. She often attracted criticism and was previously threatened. Notably, around seven months ago, she received death threats from gangster Arsh Dalla, who claimed her content was “spoiling Punjab’s youth.” A leaked audio had Arsh Dalla saying, “Even if someone in her family dies, it won’t make any difference. No storm will come.”

Kamal lost her father a year and a half ago and was living with her mother in Shimlapuri, Ludhiana. Her relations with her brother were reportedly strained. She frequently went live on Facebook and Instagram, verbally attacking family members.

Her final Instagram post on June 9 read: “No love, no emotion… suspicion, suspicion, suspicion.”

The threat against Kamal Kaur dates back to an audio clip allegedly by Arshdeep Singh Gill aka Arsh Dalla from Canada. In October 2024, he was wounded during a shootout in Milton, Canada, and arrested the next day.
