Una. 17th murder has taken place in 61 days in Himachal Pradesh. 19-year-old youth Hardeep, who was kidnapped from Una district, has been killed. However, his body has not been found even after a week. But the police have arrested two youths including the girl. A video also surfaced after the kidnapping of the youth, in which it was seen that the youth was brutally treated. Police had arrested two youths seen in the video in this case, who were produced in the court on Friday.


According to the information, 19-year-old Hardeep of Upper Arniala village near Una district headquarters was missing since last Sunday. In this kidnapping case, two youths were arrested from Mehatpur and Haroli of the district. In this case, the girl from Hanogi of Mandi and her companion have also been arrested. This is a case of love triangle.


SP Captain Rakesh Singh of Una presented the facts of the initial investigation to the media in a press conference on Friday. Police said that there is a possibility of murder of Hardeep alias Jiya. However, it will be confirmed only after the body is found. Police has now said that after interrogating all the four accused together, a big disclosure will be made on this matter.

A video of the assault on the youth had surfaced.


In fact, the girl was friends with Hardeep earlier. Later she got into a relationship with another youth. This led to the crime. It is worth noting that in the 38-second video, the youth was asking Hardeep why he calls him.
