Indian police allege Ms Kaur, who was four months pregnant, had travelled to her parents’ village when on March 14, she stepped outside to take a video call from her husband, Jaspeet Singh, back home on the Gold Coast.
She was allegedly snatched off the streets in broad daylight and was never seen alive again.
Indian police say they have charged both Mr Singh and his alleged lover, Kiranjeet Kaur, over an alleged conspiracy to murder plot and plan to launch extradition proceedings.
Mr Singh was questioned by AFP officers at Surfers Paradise station.
This morning, Kiranjeet Kaur was taken into Surfers police station by her lawyers to be interviewed by federal agents.
She was there for more than six hours. Her barrister, Chris Rosser, said his client denied any involvement in the murder and was co-operating with police.
“She is horrified at what happened to her friend and wants to help police bring those responsible to justice,” he said.
Last week, the AFP said it had conducted a number of searches on the Gold Coast in relation to the investigation.
“The AFP has been in regular contact with its Indian counterparts to obtain information relating to the death of Ms Kaur,” the agency said.
“The AFP is aware Indian authorities are actively investigating Ms Kaur’s death and that inquiries remain ongoing.”
