ILLICIT RELATIONS FALLOUT

FEROZEPUR: A 50-year old man was murdered by his wife and son while his body was buried in the house in Abohar. According to the informatio­n, on October 18, Sukhpal Kaur of Bahawalwas­i village of Abohar sub-division of the Fazilka district filed a missing report of her husband Makhan Singh in the police station.

During investigat­ion, police doubted Sukhpal and when questioned, she and her son Pardeep Singh confessed to have killed Makhan.

“Sukhpal had alleged illicit relations with a co-villager and Makhan came to know about the same, so a quarrel between the couple was a daily affair,” said police sources. “To get rid of her husband, Sukhpal in connivance with her son Pardeep, killed him and buried the body in the courtyard of the house and later filed a complaint,” added police sources.

On Friday, the police exhumed the body from courtyard of the house and booked Sukhpal and Pardeep under Sections 302 (culpable homicide by causing death of person other than person whose death was intended), 201 (causing disappeara­nce of evidence of offence, or giving false informatio­n to screen offender) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtheranc­e of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The body has been sent for postmortem.
