Gurinder’s claim that ICE had seized his wife was dismissed after the agency confirmed no activity at their Sacramento residence.
Investigators uncovered evidence of an ongoing divorce and child‑custody dispute, with the couple’s 8‑month‑old son at the center of the conflict.
On Oct. 1 forensic teams recovered burned human remains at a remote site in El Dorado County; DNA matched Jasmine Gill, who had not been seen since Sep. 30.
Following the discovery, detectives issued an arrest warrant on Oct. 14 and secured Gurinder’s surrender; he now remains in the Sacramento County Main Jail and cannot seek bail.
ICE posted on X calling him a "deranged man" and accusing him of scapegoating the agency, while Jasmine’s family launched a GoFundMe to return her body to India.
The next phase will see Gurinder plead in Sacramento County court, with prosecutors preparing a murder case that could set a precedent for domestic‑violence‑related killings involving immigration‑law enforcement claims.
