Who Killed Kamal Kaur Bhabhi? The Chilling Murder, Khalistan Connection, and a State Gripped by Fear

A Star is Silenced: The Night Punjab Lost Its Boldest Influencer

On a humid June night, the city of Bathinda in Punjab was about to become the scene of a crime so brutal, so shocking, that it would send shockwaves across India and beyond. Kamal Kaur, known to millions as “Bhabhi Kamal Kaur,” was found dead—her body decomposing in the backseat of a car, the stench of death lingering in the air. For her fans, she was a fearless content creator, a woman who broke the internet with her boldness. For her enemies, she was an affront to tradition, a symbol of everything they despised.

But who killed Kamal Kaur? And why? As the police peeled back the layers of this murder, a sinister tale of moral policing, political extremism, and Khalistani shadows began to emerge—a tale that would expose the dark underbelly of social media fame in modern India.

The Discovery: A Body, a Car, and a City in Shock

It was just after midnight on June 11, 2025, when residents near Adesh Medical University noticed a suspicious car parked for hours. The foul smell forced someone to call the police. When officers pried open the doors, they recoiled in horror: inside was the decomposed body of a woman, later identified as Kamal Kaur, the influencer whose bold videos had made her a household name.

The crime scene was chilling. The car’s number plate was fake. Kamal’s body bore marks of strangulation—her life snuffed out days before she was found. The post-mortem confirmed the worst: she had been murdered two to three days earlier, her body left to rot in a macabre warning to others.

The Victim: Kamal Kaur, a Symbol of Defiance

Who was Kamal Kaur? Born Kanchan Kumari in Bihar, she and her family had moved to Punjab years ago. Reinventing herself as Kamal Kaur, she became a social media sensation, amassing millions of followers with her bold, unapologetic content. She spoke Punjabi fluently, embraced local culture, and became a lightning rod for controversy with her daring videos.

But fame came at a cost. Kamal’s content—often provocative and boundary-pushing—angered conservative elements in Punjab. She received threats. She was called names. But she refused to back down. “I won’t stop making my videos,” she once said in a live stream. “No one can silence me.”

The Suspects: A Plot Unfolds

As police dug into the case, three names emerged: Jaspreet Singh Mehron, Nimratjeet Singh Harike, and the alleged mastermind—Amritpal Singh Mehron. All three dressed as Nihang Sikhs, their blue robes and swords a nod to a centuries-old warrior tradition now twisted for a new purpose.

Jaspreet and Nimratjeet were quickly arrested. Amritpal, however, vanished—slipping through the cracks, leaving behind a digital trail of threats and hate.

The Mastermind: Who is Amritpal Singh Mehron?

Amritpal Singh Mehron is no ordinary criminal. At just 30, he is a self-styled radical Sikh leader, a diesel engine mechanic from Moga district who commands a following on YouTube and Telegram. His group, “Kaum De Rakhe” (Protectors of the Community), preaches a toxic blend of moral policing and religious extremism.

Amritpal’s influence reaches deep into Punjab’s political and cultural life. In 2022, he ran for the Punjab assembly on a ticket from the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar)—a party dogged by allegations of Khalistani sympathies. He lost badly, but his rhetoric only grew more dangerous.

He is infamous for bullying influencers, threatening comedians (even the famous Bharti Singh was forced to apologize after his online campaign), and staging public “apologies” from those he accuses of “insulting Sikh values.” His videos are laced with hate for migrants, particularly those from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and he rails against women who, in his words, “shame the community.”

The Motive: Moral Policing or Something More Sinister?

In the days after Kamal’s murder, Amritpal released a chilling video. In it, he confessed to orchestrating her killing, claiming she had “insulted Sikhism” by using a Punjabi name and making bold content. He warned other influencers: “This time, you found the body. Next time, you won’t.”

His words sent a chill through Punjab’s influencer community. Screenshots of his threats went viral. Other creators—men and women—began deleting their videos, fearing they might be next.

But was this just about moral outrage? Or was there a deeper, more organized campaign at play?

The Khalistan Connection: Politics, Terror, and Social Media

As police followed the digital breadcrumbs, a disturbing connection emerged. Amritpal’s political ambitions were not just local—they were tied to the Khalistan movement, a separatist campaign seeking an independent Sikh state. His party, Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), is led by Simranjit Singh Mann, a known Khalistan sympathizer.

But the web didn’t end there. Another name surfaced: Arsh Dalla, a gangster-turned-terrorist now operating from Canada. In 2024, an audio clip surfaced in which Arsh Dalla threatened Kamal Kaur with death. He is wanted in India for murder, drug trafficking, and terror funding. Police believe Amritpal and Arsh Dalla may have collaborated, their shared hatred for outspoken influencers uniting them across continents.

The Investigation: A Race Against Time

With two suspects in custody and Amritpal on the run, police launched a massive manhunt. They scoured social media chats, WhatsApp records, and bank transactions. The car’s fake plates, the use of burner phones, and the careful planning all pointed to a premeditated hit.

SSP Amneet Kandal, leading the investigation, said: “This was not a crime of passion. This was an execution—a message to anyone who dares to defy their twisted code.”

A Community in Fear: The Fallout

The murder has left Punjab’s influencer community paralyzed with fear. Many have gone silent. Some have left the state. Women creators, in particular, say they no longer feel safe. “If Kamal could be killed for her videos, what about the rest of us?” one influencer asked, her voice trembling.

Migrant workers, too, are on edge. Amritpal’s videos are filled with slurs against Biharis and UP migrants, stoking old resentments and fears of violence.

Society on Trial: Hate, Misogyny, and the Cost of Fame

Kamal Kaur’s murder is not just a crime—it’s a mirror held up to society. It exposes the toxic mix of misogyny, xenophobia, and religious extremism that simmers beneath Punjab’s surface. It raises uncomfortable questions:

Why are women who break the mold targeted with such violence?
Why are migrants still seen as outsiders, no matter how hard they try to belong?
And why do politicians and radicals use social media to whip up hate and fear, with little consequence?

The Hunt for Amritpal: Will Justice Be Served?

As this article goes to press, Amritpal Singh Mehron remains at large. Police are closing in, but his network is vast and his supporters fanatical. The government has promised swift action, but many fear he may slip away, protected by political connections and a code of silence.

For Kamal Kaur’s family, there is only grief. Her mother, Girija Devi, weeps for her daughter—a woman who chased her dreams and paid the ultimate price. “She was my only child,” she says. “She just wanted to live free.”

Conclusion: A Call for Courage

Kamal Kaur’s story is a tragedy, but it is also a call to action. It demands that Punjab—and India—confront the forces of hate, misogyny, and extremism that threaten to tear society apart. It demands justice, not just for Kamal, but for every woman, every migrant, every voice that dares to speak.

As the city mourns, one question remains:
Who killed Kamal Kaur?
The answer is not just Amritpal Singh Mehron. It is every system, every prejudice, every silence that allowed hate to fester and a young woman’s life to be stolen.
