His body was recovered from the house of Balbir, one of the accused, police said.
There were injury marks on the body of Sukhchain and his leg was also found chopped off, police said adding efforts are being made to trace the lost limb.
The SSP said a team of police officials has been formed to arrest the accused.
“We have registered a case of murder against six accused and we shall soon arrest them,” he said.
The accused have been identified as Balbir Singh, Hardeep Singh, Amandeep Singh, Sadhu Singh, Babrik Singh and Sita Singh, police said.
Meanwhile, the family of the victim has refused to cremate the body until the chopped off limb is found.
A similar incident was reported in the state last year.
A Dalit Bheem Tank and his friend, Gurjant Singh, were allegedly attacked with sharp-edged weapons in Abohar in Fazilka last year. Bheem’s limbs were chopped off and he later died in hospital.
