KAITHAL : Gurmail Baljit Singh, one of the two in custody for the murder of Baba Siddique , belongs to a village in Haryana 's Kaithal and has a criminal background.

Three cases - one of them of murder - have been registered against him, police said, adding he allegedly killed his cousin (son of his father's elder brother). He was lodged in Kaithal jail, where he established links with associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi , said sources. Once out on bail around 3 to 4 months back, he moved to Mumbai, developing his connections further.

Gurmail's parents, who belonged to Narar village in Kaithal, died a long time back. He is survived by his grandmother Phooli Devi, who resides with his younger stepbrother. "Around 4 months ago, he just left the house without informing anyone. He has caused me immense pain and I don't care if the police shoot him," said his grandmother. Referring to his imprisonment for the murder of his cousin, she said, "I don't know who got him out of jail." "We have no ties with him," she added.

Titram police station SHO said the three cases against Gurmel had been filed at three police stations. Police are investigating Gurmel's record, the SHO added.
