Girl and her friend beat up and drug ex-boyfriend before throwing him into canal in Ludhiana.

Ludhiana: A young man was allegedly thrashed, drugged, and thrown into a canal by his ex-girlfriend and her current partner, prompting a police investigation in this district and a search for the suspects.

The 20-year-old complainant, Harkirat Singh of Tungaheri village, told police that he was lured into meeting his former girlfriend, Jasleen Kaur of Siloani village, on June 18 after she messaged him on Instagram. Upon arriving in the Jodhan area, Harkirat Singh entered a parked car where Jasleen was waiting. She allegedly took his mobile phone under a pretext and engaged him in conversation.

Soon after, their former schoolmate — reported to be Balkaran Singh of Jattpura village — arrived. Harkirat Singh claims Jasleen revealed to him she had been in a relationship with Balkaran for nine months. He alleges that the pair then assaulted him, attempted to strangle him with Jasleen's dupatta, and injected an unknown substance into his abdomen before dumping him in the nearby Siloani canal.

Harkirat Singh said a passing member of the village panchayat had rescued him and admitted him to a local medical facility at Pakhowal, from where he was referred to a hospital in Ludhiana. He, later, filed a police complaint.

The Jodhan police have booked Jasleen and Balkaran under charges related to attempted murder, abduction, and criminal conspiracy. Assistant sub-inspector Kabal Singh confirmed that the suspects were on the run, while a manhunt for the duo was on.
