Amit Doda, nephew of Akali leader Shiv Lal Doda and co-accused in the Dalit murder case in Punjab's Abohar has surrendered before the police today.

However, he said that Shiv Lal Doda, main accused in the case, has not been arrested so far.
"Shiv Lal Doda continues to remain elusive," Mr Chahal said adding that efforts are being made to nab him.
