The murder of two cousins on February 13, when they were returning from marriage of their sister from Nihal Singh Wala has taken a turn with the police getting the clue that a Canada based jilted NRI girl has got her ‘boy friend’ (one of the deceased) eliminated through hired killers for ditching her.

As per information, one of the victims, Jasbir Singh, an NRI, had a relationship with Brampton resident Amanpal Gill. Jasbir Singh had refused marriage to the girl despite the relationship and had come to Punjab to marry another girl.

Jasbir Singh's marriage was fixed for February 14, at Landeke village in Moga. Jasbir's cousin Harpreet Singh, hailing from Chakkar village was also murdered in the incident.

The police stated that it could be a case of contract killing. They suspected that the girl had got Jasbir Singh eliminated through her brother who had landed in India ahead of the victim's marriage to another girl in Punjab.
