The accused, identified as Randeep Kaur alias Rani and Angrej Singh of Makhu village in Ferozepur district have been slapped with charges under Sections 302 (murder) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Bhikhiwind police station. The case was registered on the complaint of the deceased’s elder brother, Sukhdev Singh (50) of Tatle village.

“We are six brothers and Hira Singh was the youngest of all. He married Randeep Kaur of Ghariala village in 2007. The couple has a 14-year-old daughter out of the wedlock. Randeep Kaur had an illegal relationship with Angrej and my brother Hira Singh tried everything to save his marriage. On Sunday around 4 am, I got a call from Randeep and she informed me that my brother had fallen ill. I rushed to his place, where he told me that his wife and Angrej had given him a poisonous substance. He was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival,” said Sukhdev.

He accused Randeep and Angrej of killing his brother.

Bhikhiwind station house officer (SHO) Jaswant Singh said the accused have been arrested. “We have also got a one-day remand of the accused from the local court,” he added.
