Mystery shrouds death of 9-yr-old Indian girl in US

Published on: 

A nine-year-old Indian girl was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her home’s bathroom here and police is questioning her step-mother after describing the death as “suspicious”. Ashdeep Kaur had moved to Queens from India just three months ago and lived in an apartment in with her father Sukhjinder Singh and her stepmother Arjun Samdhi Pardas.

Kaur was found dead in her house’s bathtub on Friday, with police describing her death as “suspicious” after the body was found naked and with bruises.

A neighbour who shared part of Singh’s house — including the bathroom — called him at work and told him that Pardas and his daughter had gone into the bathroom together.

Pardas came out of the bathroom alone and then left the house.
