Shamli police said on October 4 that property-attachment proceedings had been carried out against three accused in the murder investigation concerning Haryanvi singer Ankit Balian. The district police’s public statement said the action followed an order of the court. The disclosure establishes a new procedural step in the inquiry; it does not establish the guilt of any accused.
IANS, citing the Police Media Cell, identified the three people as Rahul alias Bholu, Aryan Sandhu and Satyam Kadyan. Its account said teams took household items and gym equipment from residences in Haryana under the court’s directions. The agency also reported that police teams were continuing to search for the accused across five states.
The singer was killed in Shamli on August 26. That earlier killing is the background to the attachment action disclosed on October 4. The official post did not provide the precise time at which each property was attached. The date of the police announcement should therefore not be mistaken for a verified time for every part of the operation.
The three accused remained the subject of the police search in the accounts reviewed. The attachment announcement did not report their arrest, a completed trial or a conviction. Further developments depend on the continuing investigation and court proceedings.
