However, she was found dead with a bullet injury. The accused has been identified as Rajat Jasewal who also lived in Hounslow. Jasewal has been arrested and charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. The police has sought information ‘particularly doorbell or dashcam footage from the area’ in connection with Kaur’s murder.
The incident came to light when police officers visited the victim, identified as Navneet Kaur, for a welfare check on November 4. The incident happened in August 2026 after the separation of 31-year-old Ankur Patel and his 32-year-old wife, Chicago police said as reported by CBS news.
She was pronounced dead at the scene having sustained fatal injuries, according to the police. “A man has been charged but our investigation remains ongoing and we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could assist,” detective chief inspector Sarah Lee, who is leading the investigation, said. “On the afternoon of Wednesday, 4 November, officers visited an address on Chertsey Road to carry out a welfare check,” the police stated. “Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers,” they added.
