Sippy Sidhu murder
CBI arrests HP judge's daughter for murdering national-level shooter Sippy Sidhu in 2015
New Delhi/IBNS: Nearly seven years after the murder of national-level shooter Sukhmanpreet Singh alias Sippy Sidhu in Chandigarh, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday arrested an accused named Kalyani Singh, who is the daughter of Himachal Pradesh High Court's Acting Chief Justice Sabina.
She is the first person to have been arrested in the case.
Even though she was reported to be a suspect for a long time, Kalyani Singh is believed to have been accompanying another person who also shot Sippy Sidhu.
The central probe agency has got four days' remand to interrogate Kalyani Singh.
The CBI suspected her role since the early stages of the probe in 2016 as it repeatedly said "a woman was accompanying the murderer".
The bullet-ridden body of Sippy Sidhu, who was also a corporate lawyer, was found in a park in Sector 27 of Chandigarh on September 20, 2015. Sidhu, who was 35, lived in Mohali.
He was a grandson of Justice SS Sidhu, a former judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The case was handed over to the CBI in January 2016 after the intervention of the Punjab Governor, who also serves as the Chandigarh UT Administrator.
In September that year, the CBI announced Rs. 5 lakh for anyone with clues.
