The deceased has been identified as Preeti, a resident of Barwasni village in Sonepat. She got married seven-years ago to a Panipat resident and the couple has a four-year-old son.

The incident came to matter on Thursday when the woman’s father lodged a complaint with Sonepat police. In his complaint to the police, the woman’s father Raj Kumar said that his son Paramjeet had shot his elder sister Preeti after a verbal spat.

“Preeti’s husband Sachin and his brother-in-law Vikas told my son Paramjeet that Preeti had an extra-marital affair with an Uttar Pradesh resident. Vikas and Sachin have been instigating Paramjeet against Preeti. Paramjeet fired three shots at his sister Preeti, and she died at our home. Nearly 40 days ago, her husband Sachin sent her back to our home,” the woman’s father added.
