The victims are Baramjeet Singh, 54, and his wife Sumitra, 50.

In his complaint to the police, Sumitra’s brother Ram Mehar said Baramjeet and his son Pawan, alias Boda, had gone to Kharkhauda mandi to sell wheat crop on Saturday, where they fought over money.

“When I tried to intervene, Pawan threatened me and his father of dire consequences. On Sunday morning, a man from Nonand village called me to inform that bodies of Baramjeet and Sumitra were found at a secluded place there. I reached there and informed the police about their murders. When I, along with few others went to my sister’s house at Pakasma, we found blood stains on the floor of her room. We suspect that Pawan killed his parents and dumped their bodies in Nonand,” the complainant added.

“We have launched an investigation and a hunt is on to nab the accused,” he added.
