When Kirandeep Saggar met Ranjit Bath, she fell in love.
The mother of two had recently separated from her husband when she connected with the Canadian-Punjabi rap star on TikTok in June 2023.
They quickly struck up a good relationship, and after a year of chatting online, he showed up at her home in Sydney, Australia, and the couple fell in love.
But after just a couple of months, the relationship turned sour. Ranjit became “obsessed” with Kirandeep who, not yet divorced, said she did not want to marry him.
Instead of deterring Ranjit, this led to even more obsessive behavior on his part, including threats to his family. Kirandeep eventually filed a complaint with the Australian police and Ranjit was deported.
However, soon after, Kirandeep’s father, Ravinderpal Singh, 78, was murdered in Punajb, India, and his body was dumped in a bush.
Ranjit is alleged to have sent a text message to Kirandeep, apologizing for killing her father, before berating her with daily text messages threatening to kill her too.
Four months later, the country’s police are still searching for Ranjit. Kirandeep says she lives in fear that he will kill her or another family member.
‘He is not human, he is a monster. “I sit on the couch all night staring at the door because I don’t want anything to happen to my kids,” she said.
Kirandeep Saggar, from Western Sydney, revealed the nightmare when her ex-boyfriend murdered her father and now she fears he is coming for her.
Talking to Australia 7NEWS Featured Kirandeep revealed She separated from her husband in February 2023, but the couple continued to live together in the same house.
She revealed that around this time Ranjit, who was living in Canada, messaged her on TikTok and they started talking frequently.
The mother revealed that the rapper became more flirtatious when they started talking on the phone.
As the relationship progressed, Kirandeep wanted her new boyfriend to meet her semi-retired father, 78-year-old Ravinda Paul.
His father traveled from his hometown in the northern Punjab region of India and visited friends in Vancouver, Canada.
While there, Kirandeep suggested that she should meet Ranjit to get his blessings.
She said: “This meeting is very important for him to impress my dad because he knows that whatever my dad says, I will do it.”
Speaking to 7NEWS Spotlight, Kirandeep revealed that he is now at the center of a chilling cross-border murder case as the horror escalated in August 2024 when Ranjit allegedly murdered Kirandeep’s father Ravinderpal Singh (pictured) in Punjab , India.
In March 2024, Ranjit flew from Canada to Australia and appeared unannounced on his doorstep; the couple spent weeks together.
Kirandeep tried to take things slow as she did not want to rush into another marriage immediately after ending her previous relationship, however, she claimed that Ranjit had other plans and tried to pressure her into signing his Visa to stay in Australia.
Ranjit allegedly pressured her to divorce her husband and he demanded that she leave the house they shared and stay somewhere else.
She said: ‘I said I can’t do that, I have children, I can’t just leave my children at home and I can come and stay with you, it’s not possible.’
“I tried to explain everything to him very well, but he didn’t want to understand, so the pressure was too much.”
Two months after arriving in Australia, Ranjit began sending death threats to Kirandeep’s ex-husband.
Seeking protection, Kirandeep reported him to Australian authorities, leading to his deportation in June 2024.
She said: ‘Even if I blocked his number, he sent me messages from like 50 new numbers from Canada. Since every day is a new number, I have everything on my phone, he keeps sending me crying videos.’
Kirandeep reported the harassment to Australian police, but they told her there was nothing they could do because she was not in the country.
A subsequent attempt to re-enter Australia two months later saw him quickly deported again and barred from the country for three years.
In an attempt to get Kirandeep back for ignoring him and ending their relationship, he threatened to do “something that will make her cry all her life.”
She said: ‘HHe said: I know how much you love your daughter and if you don’t talk to me, I will come and kill her slowly in front of your eyes.
“I would sit on the couch all night and just stare at the door, because I didn’t want anything to happen to my kids.
‘I always feel like he won’t come back but he will send someone, that’s always on my mind, I can’t stand it because of all these messages, I’m scared, I’m worried, what if I sleep for a second, something will happen?’
On August 2 this year, Kirandeep received a strange text message from his father. She tried calling him repeatedly throughout the day but he didn’t answer.
He called his brother, who lived near his father in Punjab, and asked him to look for his father.
After hours of searching and finding his father’s car abandoned on the side of the road, Vikram was told by the local mortuary that a body had been found, which was his father.
Ravinderpal was reportedly strangled and his body left on the side of the road.
Kirandeep said, “That will always be in my mind, I can never bring my father back.”
Ranjit reportedly lured Ravinderpal to the city on the pretext of buying life insurance for him, then Ranjit, he and his nephew Baljinder Singh somehow convinced Ravinderpal to get into their car.
While his nephew was driving the car, Ranjit climbed into the back seat, sat behind Ravinderpal, who was in the passenger seat, took out a rope, wrapped it around the 78-year-old’s neck and strangled him.
Kirandeep said, “Then they threw him into the bushes, that’s what I heard from the police and from his nephew.”
Ranjit coldly informed Kirandeep of his father’s death through a WhatsApp message, even revealing where the body could be found.
While Baljinder Singh has been arrested and the vehicle used in the crime seized, Ranjit remains at large.
Indian authorities have stepped up efforts to capture him, but his evasion has exposed glaring gaps in global police cooperation.
CMD. Gurvinder Singh of Dhaka Police spoke to 7News and said, “We are trying to find out how he escaped and who was involved.”
However, the family is deeply suspicious about how Ranjit escaped, many believing he bribed his way to freedom.
Canada-based Punjabi journalist Gurpreet Sahot said: “It’s not about solving the murder, it’s about making money from it.” What will happen is that they will take money from Ranjit and then present the case very weakly before a judge. It happens like this often.
However, Gurvinder Singh of Dhaka police denied the allegations and said, “It is nothing like that… nor has anyone sent us a formal complaint regarding this.”
Two weeks after the murder, Ranjit flew to Canada, where he remains a free man.
Kirandeep continues to endure daily threats from Ranjit, who allegedly promises to kill her and her family.
She said: “He texted me saying if he can kill just one person in my family, he can kill my whole family.”
Former West Vancouver Police Chief Kash Heed criticized the lack of action by Indian and Canadian authorities, warning that this inaction puts Kirandeep’s life in grave danger.
Despite providing evidence of Ranjit’s criminal acts, she feels abandoned by the system.
