Radical Sikh leader Amritpal Singh Mehron publicly claimed responsibility for the killing of Punjabi social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, aka Kamal Kaur. In a video on social media, Mehron justified the act by accusing Kaur of defaming Sikh traditions and misusing the name 'Kaur' to spread obscene content. He also warned other content creators that they could face similar consequences.
