MAN GETS HIS BROTHER TO MURDER HIS THREE KIDS

Jagdeep Malik allegedly shot dead his two nephews and a niece at the behest of his brother. The man was on Wednesday sent in six-day police remand by the Pehowa sub-divisional court.

Jagdeep allegedly shot dead his two nephews and a niece at point-black range and dumped their bodies in Panchkula’s Morni forest on the behest of their father, police had said on Tuesday. The crime took place on Sunday while the bodies were recovered on Tuesday morning.

The family belongs to Sarsa village in Pehowa block of Kurukshetra district.

The police are yet to recover the car and weapon used in the crime. Sonu Malik, the children's father, is still being interrogated.

The post-mortem of Simran (8) and Samar (3) was conducted at the general hospital in Sector 6, Panchkula, on Wednesday, while that of the oldest child, Sameer (11) was completed on Tuesday.

“Cause of death for all three is bullet injury to the head,” a doctor at the Sector 6 hospital said.

Sonu’s father, Jeeta Malik, has said his son had an extramarital affair, which may be the motive for the grisly crime.

Meanwhile Suman Malik, mother of three children, continues to wait for them and she has not been told about their death.

Villagers and relatives gathered at her house are waiting for the children’s bodies.
