Ferozepur RSS Leader’s Son Murder: Ludhiana woman held for harbouring Jalandhar shooter; Mastermind still absconding
Ferozepur, November 23, 2025: Fresh twists continue to emerge in the sensational murder case of Naveen Arora, son of a local RSS leader, who was shot dead in Ferozepur on November 15. In the latest development, Ferozepur police have arrested a Ludhiana woman, Bhavna (daughter of Ashok Kumar, resident of Tibba Road, Ludhiana), for allegedly providing shelter to one of the shooters and helping him flee after the crime.
Police sources revealed that Nachhatar Singh, a resident of Jalandhar and one of the alleged shooters, took refuge in Bhavna’s house immediately after the murder. A separate case has been registered against her under relevant sections, and she is currently in custody. Interrogation is underway, with investigators hopeful of breakthroughs.
Earlier, the police had arrested three persons — Jatin Kali (the alleged mastermind), Kanav, and Harsh — in connection with the conspiracy. However, both the main shooter, Nachhatar Singh and the bigger hand believed to be behind the contract killing remain at large.
SSP Bhupinder Singh, in the last press meet, informed media persons that the conspiracy appears far more organised than initially thought. “Jatin Kali allegedly orchestrated the plan for a payment of just ₹60-65 thousand, but arranging professional shooters from Jalandhar and safe houses in Ludhiana points towards the involvement of a larger network,” he said.
Investigators are baffled by the sophistication of the escape plan and suspect the involvement of an established gangster or an influential outsider who provided logistical support and funding. Despite intensive raids, no major gangster has been apprehended so far, deepening the mystery surrounding the motive and the real mastermind.
With every passing day, new leads are surfacing, keeping the case in the headlines. Police officials have assured that the arrest of the remaining accused, including Nachhatar Singh, is only a matter of time and that the full conspiracy will soon be unravelled. Meanwhile, Bhavna will be interrogated, and big revelations are likely to emerge quickly.
