Four members of a family, including an eight-month-old girl who was kidnapped earlier this week, have been found dead in California, US. The deceased has been identified as 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh, 27-year-old Jasleen Kaur, their eight-month-old daughter Aarohi Dheli and the child's uncle Amandeep Singh (39).

The Sikh family was a resident of Harsi Pind under the Tanda block of Punjab's Hoshiarpur district. In a tweet, CM Mann said, "Received news of the murder of 4 Indians, including an 8-month-old child, in California. Expressing grief over the killing, he wrote in a tweet in Punjabi, "There is also an appeal to S Jaishankar that there should be a high-level inquiry into the matter.''
