Nihang Amritpal Singh Mehron claims responsibility for killing influencer Kamal Kaur, warns others against posting obscene videos

Amritpal Singh Mehron, a Nihang Sikh leader, has claimed responsibility for the murder of Punjabi social media influencer Kamal Kaur, also known online as Kanchan Kumari. Punjab Police began a murder investigation on Wednesday night after Kaur’s body was found inside a car parked near Adesh Medical University in Bathinda.

Mehron posted a video on social media taking responsibility for the act. In the video, he alleged that Kaur had defamed Sikh traditions and used the name 'Kaur' to share obscene content. He also issued a warning to other online creators. “Khalsa never attacks women, but when a woman targets our Takhts and mocks Sikh values, she cannot be spared,” Mehron said. He showed clips of Kaur’s past videos and vowed to stop the “spread of vulgarity” in Punjab.

Police arrest two Nihangs in connection with murder

Meanwhile two Nihang Sikhs have been taken into custody for their suspected role in the crime. Authorities are investigating their possible links with Mehron and their involvement in the case.


Kamal Kaur, a Ludhiana resident, was known for her short videos on Instagram, where she had more than 3.83 lakh followers. Her content, often provocative, had previously attracted threats from religious groups and gangsters based overseas.

Cops suspect body was dumped in parked car

The car in which Kaur’s body was found was reportedly registered in Ludhiana, but police suspect the registration number may be fake. Officers believe the murder may have happened at another location and the body was later placed in the vehicle.

Local residents informed the police after noticing a foul smell from the parked car. Police then arrived, recovered the body, and traced the registration details. Kaur had left for Bathinda on June 9 to attend an event and had not contacted her family since then.

Investigators are now examining CCTV footage from nearby areas to reconstruct Kaur’s last known movements and identify all those involved in the crime.
