BARNALA: In yet another case of honour killing in Punjab, the nephew
of a Scheduled Caste woman allegedly killed her lover after he spotted
them together last night at Shaihna village in Tappa Sub-division of
Barnala. The police has arrested the 28-year-old and booked him under
Section 302 of IPC.
Police sources said that Lakhvir Singh Lakkhi, a jat from Uppli Patti
was allegedly killed by Harjinder Singh Bobby, the nephew of Sukwinder
Kaur (name changed), who belonged to a Scheduled Caste. He spotted the
duo and allegedly after killing Lakkhi last night threw him into a
septic tank near his house.
Police sources added that the 35-year-old girl was having an affair
with the boy for the last 7-8 years and the duo used to meet
clandestinely. When the girl's parents came to know, they warned the
boy to sever ties with their daughter.
Sources further said that despite the warnings the duo used to meet
and their meetings became quite frequent after the death of the girl's
brother since she was in a state of shock and needed support to
recover. After the death of the girl's brother, her nephew Harjinder
Singh Bobby came to live with them. He too warned Lakkhi not to meet
his aunt.
Sources added that on Saturday night when the boy went to meet his
girlfriend at her home, Bobby spotted them and badly thrashed Lakkhi,
resulting in his death. Allegedly, after killing Lakkhi, Bobby threw
him into a septic tank near their house.
Lakhwinder Singh, the deceased's brother got the complaint registered
at the police station at Shaihna told the police that few days ago the
parents of the girl had come to their home and threatened Lakkhi.
