Kurali deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Dharamvir Singh said according to the victim’s family, Simranjit used to ill-treat his wife and would often leave her at her parents’ house, where her brother Charanpreet also lived.
On Monday, Charanpreet and his sister went to the nearby market on a motorcycle to buy some groceries around 7 pm.

“The weapon’s blade pierced the victim’s lungs. He was rushed to the nearby Kurali civil hospital, but doctors declared him brought dead,” the DSP said.
He added that a police party had been sent to Simranjit’s village and he will be arrested soon. He has been booked under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
