Dubious Honour
Parents kill son, daughter-in-law
Chandigarh, December 22, DHNS :
A father and mother, both septuagenarians, killed their lone son and
daughter-in-law in cold blood for marrying against their wishes.
It was an inter-caste marriage (the girl being a Dalit), that invited
the ire of the family. Sukhdev Singh and Mandeep Kaur were in love
with each other and married against the wishes of Sukhdev's parents
two years ago.
The murder came to light when the girl's sister Rajnikanta, a resident
of Jalandhar, approached the police expressing her fears and urging
them to locate the couple.
She smelt a rat after failing to get a satisfactory reply from
Sukhdev's parents Karaj Singh and Manjit Kaur who, Rajnikanta told the
police, harassed the young couple ever since they got married.
Her apprehensions brought the police to the old couple's doorstep.
During questioning, a senior police official said, the father broke
down and confessed to have murdered his son and daughter-in-law.
The murder plot by the parents was systematically planned. The young
couple were first given food mixed with some sedatives to eat. Once
their son and daughter-in-law fell unconscious, the parents
strangulated them to death. During the night, they disposed of their
bodies in a flowing canal, the police said. The incident, which has
sent shock waves in the village, took place in Ferozpur of Punjab
around 10-12 days ago, it is learnt.
Son, a drug addict
The police have registered a case of murder against the parents.
Father Karaj Singh was arrested a couple of days ago and police have
recovered the bodies of the couple from the canal.
The police said the couple told them that their son Sukhdev Singh was
addicted to drugs and liquor and was in bad company. Karaj Singh
informed the police that he used to torture them (parents) for money
to buy drugs.
