Mohali: Mohali police on Monday arrested two men for allegedly beating a migrant labourer to death at a dera in Miyanpur Changar village, under Majri block. The deceased, identified as Senki (28), hailed from Madhya Pradesh and had been working at a nearby brick kiln with his family.The arrested accused were identified as Saudagar Singh, a resident of Morinda, and Inderjit Singh, a resident of Baroli village in Kharar. Police said both were apprehended from the dera itself, where the incident occurred. They are set to be produced in court on Tuesday.According to the FIR based on the complaint of the victim’s wife, Pinky, the assault took place on July 20 night. Pinky told the police that her husband had gone to purchase household goods from the village after dinner but did not return that night. A search was launched by family members and fellow labourers, but Senki remained missing until the following evening.At around 5.30pm on Sunday, the dera manager reportedly informed Pinky that a man had been caught naked at Baba’s grave. Suspecting it could be her husband, Pinky rushed to the spot with a co-worker and discovered Senki lying injured near the dera’s langar area. His vest was torn, and he appeared severely beaten.In a dying declaration to his wife, Senki reportedly said he had stopped at the Dera to drink water on his way back from meeting his brother in Khijrabad village. There, two Nihangs confronted him, accused him of being under the influence of drugs, and began assaulting him. He pleaded innocence, but they continued to beat and detain him overnight.Pinky further alleged that when she tried to intervene, Saudagar and Inderjit attacked her as well and chased her away. When she returned in the morning with other labourers, Senki was critically unwell. Despite attempts to revive him and get him medical help, he succumbed to his injuries at the spot.Pinky and Senki, who were living in a nearby slum, had five children: Mansi (11), Chadni (10), Mai (6), Pari (4), and Aju (2). The family had arrived in Punjab just 10–12 days ago to work at the kiln.Majri police, along with a forensic team, reached the crime scene and collected evidence. Following initial investigation, the accused were booked under Sections 103 (murder) and 126(2) (wrongful confinement and torture) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Majri police station. A senior police officer confirmed the arrests and said further investigation is underway.
