Police said that Parveen was actively pursuing the cases against cousins, making use of the RTI Act to get updated about a police case. This is believed to be the reason for Parveen's murder.

Parveen's dismembered body, found by the roadside, has been sent for postmortem examination. Police have started investigations after registering a murder case against five persons, including his cousins. Preliminary investigations suggested that the assailant cousins also made an abortive attempt to eliminate Parveen's wife Mamta and sibling Pardeep Kumar, the investigating officer said.

As Parveen fell, the five assailants alighted and attacked Parveen with sharp-edged weapons. His hands and legs were dismembered. They escaped leaving him dead on the road," he said. Eldest of the two siblings born to former ASI Balram Singh, Parveen had some doubts over the medico legal report of his father and was using RTI to get information."Investigations are on and we are conducting raids to round up the accused," said Rajkumar Walia, DSP, headquarters.
