AMRITSAR: Amritsar rural Police on Friday claimed to have cracked a double-murder case in 24 hours and arrested a woman and her paramour for the murder of her husband and his friend. Residents of Maqboolpur­a locality, Mandeep Singh alias Nikka, 21, and his friend Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi, 27, were found murdered on Wednesday. Their bodies were found along Qila Mionkafate­hpur Rajputan village road near Jandiala Guru in a pool of blood.

Nikka’s father Kulwant Singh had lodged a complaint, claiming that his son had his friend, Gopi, were missing, after having left home on Tuesday evening to shop for wedding of Gopi’s brother-in-law.

SSP Amritsar, rural, Parampal Singh supervised the investigat­ion which found that the murder was result of the illicit relationsh­ip of Gopi’s wife Manmeet Kaur with Nirmal Singh alias Nimma, resident of Manawala village.

“A few months ago, Nimma went to Gopi’s house for whitewash during which he became a fast friend of his and Nikka, who resided in neighbourh­ood. Meanwhile, Manmeet fell into an affair with Nimma,” Parampal told reporters.

Considerin­g Gopi as an obstacle to their plans, both conspired to eliminate him. “Nimma called both to his house at Manawala village, where he got them to drink countrymad­e liquor. When they were drunk, Nimma led them to under a tree and stabbed them,” the police officials added.

The accused were arrested from Qila Mionka railway station.

The sharp-edged weapon used in the murder was also recovered from Nimma’s house.
