Also,Kamal’s bail plea was moved in the court on Thursday but the court orders are awaited.

The court had arrested Kamal Singh,a 46-year-old resident of Sector 36,on November 1.

Kamal is the neighbour of Dr Sangeeta Devi,a PGI doctor and another accused in the case. The ‘victim’ girl,a resident of Sector 23,belongs to a Himachal Pradesh-based royal family.

The sons of both the accused,Kamal and Sangeeta,are Inderjit’s friends,police said. The anticipatory bail plea of the Dr Sangeeta and Inderjit’s parents,Surinder Malik and Paranjeet Kaur,were rejected by the court last week.

As per the police,the father of the ‘victim’ had complained that his minor daughter had been kidnapped by Inderjit,a Zirakpur resident,with the help of one of Inderjit’s relatives.

The complainant,Rupinderpal,had alleged that Inderjit Singh Malik and Sangeeta,both residents of Orbit Apartment 1,VIP Road,Zirakpur had allegedly kidnapped his daughter from the Carmel Convent School,Sector 9 on October 10.

The duo were found in Bathinda late in the evening on Thursday. Prime accused Inderjit is currently in police remand.
