A Punjab Police constable and his two accomplices have been booked for shooting his live-in partner dead with his service weapon at their rented accommodation in New Prem Nagar, Ghumar Mandi, in the wee hours of Thursday.
The deceased, Mandeep Kaur of Ferozepur, who was a nurse, was rushed to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), where she died during treatment.
The accused cop, identified as Sukhwinder Singh, a native of Kohara, who is deputed as a gunman with an additional deputy commissioner rank official, has been booked for murder by Division Number 8 police. The other two suspects include a man, Noni, and an unidentified woman.
He has been booked based on the statement of Rashpal Singh, the victim’s father, who claimed that police were trying to give Sukhwinder a clean chit instead of carrying out a fair investigation.
Police had earlier claimed that Mandeep had committed suicide. They said it was Sukhwinder’s birthday on Wednesday and Mandeep had arranged a surprise party for him at their house and gifted him an expensive mobile phone and a smartwatch.
They added that as Sukhwinder refused to accept the expensive gift, they got into a spat and Mandeep shot herself with the revolver at around 3 am. The constable had informed police and rushed her to the hospital.
