In a chilling case from Punjab’s Batala, police have uncovered the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of a 14-year-old boy, Sandeep, more than a decade after he went missing. Investigations revealed that his mother, Ranjit Kaur, had murdered him 11 years ago because he opposed her illicit affair with Satnam Singh. Instead of remorse, she allegedly buried his body in the courtyard of their home and continued her life as if nothing had happened. The crime came to light only after local whispers and fresh leads prompted the police to reopen the case, leading to a grim discovery beneath the ground where the boy had been hidden all these years.

Authorities say the boy had repeatedly objected to his mother’s relationship, which caused tension in the household. On the fateful day, Ranjit Kaur and Satnam Singh allegedly conspired to silence him permanently. The brutality of the act and the calculated concealment shocked the community, especially since the woman continued living in the same house, walking over the very spot where her son’s remains lay buried. The long silence was broken when information reached the police, prompting an excavation in the courtyard that revealed the boy’s skeleton, bringing an end to the 11-year-old mystery.

The arrests of Ranjit Kaur and Satnam Singh have sparked outrage and disbelief, with many questioning how a mother could commit such a heinous act against her own child and then live without apparent guilt for over a decade. Locals have expressed both anger and relief — anger at the betrayal of maternal trust, and relief that the boy’s soul may finally find justice. The case is now set to proceed in court, where the prosecution is expected to press for the maximum punishment, citing the calculated nature of the murder and the shocking disregard for both family bonds and human life.
