Seated in the living room of her house at Phase 3B2 in Punjab’s Mohali city, 66-year-old Deepinder Kaur often breaks down as she recounts the sequence of events leading up to September 20, 2015 — the fateful night her 34-year-old son Sukhmanpreet Singh Sidhu aka Sippy Sidhu’s pellet-riddled body was found at a park in Chandigarh. Pleading with folded hands, she requests that her son’s killers be quickly brought to book.

Nearly seven years after the murder of the national-level shooter and corporate lawyer that rocked Chandigarh and grabbed the national headlines, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 15 arrested 36-year-old Kalyani Singh — Sippy’s former girlfriend and daughter of Justice Sabina, a judge of the Himachal Pradesh High Court. However, the agency has not yet recovered the murder weapon and the killer’s identity is still shrouded in mystery.
