Amritsar: Amritsar Rural Police have solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Australia-based NRI and mathematics teacher Sunil Sharma, who had been missing since May 22. Police have revealed that Sharma was murdered and have arrested his brother in connection with the crime.
According to police officials, Sunil Sharma’s disappearance had triggered an extensive search operation after his family reported losing contact with him. The breakthrough came during the investigation when evidence allegedly pointed towards his brother’s involvement in the murder.
Amritsar Rural Police have taken the accused into custody and are expected to disclose further details regarding the motive and circumstances of the crime during a press conference scheduled by the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP).
The case had drawn considerable public attention after Sharma’s family, particularly his children living abroad, repeatedly appealed for a thorough investigation. His daughter, Surbhi Sharma, had earlier stated that she last spoke to her father on May 22 and had been unable to contact him since then.
She had also expressed suspicion about her uncle’s role in the disappearance, claiming that he had allegedly gone missing around the same time. The family had urged authorities to investigate all possible angles to uncover the truth behind Sharma’s sudden disappearance.
The case gained further traction after media reports highlighted the family’s concerns and demands for justice. Following weeks of investigation, police now claim to have established that Sunil Sharma was murdered and that his brother was responsible for the crime.
Further details regarding the investigation, evidence collected by police, and the circumstances leading to the murder are expected to emerge during the official briefing by Amritsar Rural Police.
