It’s believed she and her husband were driving when they got into an argument. The woman tried to get out as the vehicle was moving, got caught in the seatbelt and was dragged for a significant distance before the vehicle was stopped.

The woman managed to run towards a home, but the man caught up to her and another altercation took place. He then went to a nearby hospital, and that’s when police were called.

Sidhu’s death has been determined to be a homicide, and her husband, 30-year-old Gagandeep Sidhu is now charged with first-degree murder.
