Ludhiana, July 8 -- A 34-year-old man who went missing nearly two months ago was found to have been murdered by two acquaintances, who later tried to use his bike-leading to their exposure.

The victim, Jagdeep Singh, a labourer from Bhairomunna village, left home on May 14 telling his family he was going for work. When he didn't return and his phone remained unreachable, the family filed a missing person's complaint. However, there were no leads until a local mechanic unexpectedly arrived at their home, demanding payment for repairs made for Jagdeep's bike.

The accused have been identified as Gulab Kumar of village Katani Kalan and Aman Kumar of village Kot Gangu Rai. Aman Kumar has been arrested, while the other one is on the run.
