Police were investigat­ing near an amusement park on the highway when a villager informed about the abandoned Hinda Stunner.

However, after the police traced the registrati­on number (PB10-CU-7223) to a man named Krishan of Phullanwal village, 20km from Ludhiana, the house was locked and he was traced only by the evening. He told the police that he had sold the 2010make motorcycle to someone a few years ago, it’s learnt.

The motorcycle was stolen from Dholewala Chowk in the city on October 10, said the Dhoke.

He added that the recovery of the motorcycle gives an idea that the killers had fled towards Jalandhar.
